Where you're wrong is that most recruiters get a percentage of the yearly salary in fee. So their cut is bigger if you have a higher salary.

- moron4hire 12y agoTheir job security is tied to closing rate, though, and the business is very high turnover. If they can close faster by lying, they can probably make more and also ensure they keep their job, even if their per-close income is not as high. Joe who closes 3 candidates at salary X makes a lot more than Sam who closes 2 candidates at salary X + 10% or Mike who loses his job because he only closed 1 candidate.
- ericb 12y agoIf you do the math, their cut changes by a dramatic amount in the deal/no deal scenario (all or nothing), and only a tiny tiny percentage in the 3% increase in pay scenario. To them, the incentive is to close, and fast.
