what percentage of salary do recruiters get
Reputation: 1834. It varies from perm placement to contract. Usually direct placement recruiters will get a percentage of the percentage the company gets (100k salary, agency gets 20%, 20k and recruiter gets 40% of 20k or 8k).The one thing though is that the higher commissioned direct placement people are usually paid on a draw hence the higher commission.ften it is equal to a months pay of what ever the job is. For upper level it could be more. Sometimes the company hiring pays the fee. Usually if the job does not work out in the first couple of months you get some of the money back.
