No. If you place someone and the company has a 3 month probation period. If the person does not last past probation the recruiter does not get paid.
Unless America is different, this is how it works in Europe, Asia, AU/NZ.
The only time this changes is contract work because contract work done via a recruiter is the recruiter might charge you at $150/hr to the company and pay you $100/hr taking $50/hr for himself.
- scarface_74 2y agoThere isn’t an official “probationary period” at most jobs in the US. But we are referring to cases where a good candidate wants $20k more. The recruiter is more interested in convincing a candidate to take the job than negotiating hard for them to get $220K. The candidate especially in this market isn’t likely to jump ship in a year over $20K
