What is the going salary for someone leading a staffing function in an IT systems integration company these days?

in my neck of the woods it's a base between $40-$60K + commission.

Shouldn't that be part of your answer?
On the commission part, try to set it up as a ratcheting affair - the higher your "percentages" go, the higher your percentage goes. Make sense?

yes, that is part of the answer. but, to complicate matters - they currently have one recruiter trying to do the job that realistically is a 2-3 person job. they have admitted to me that if the recruiting function was done more "effectively" they would probably have 80-100 hires.

sorry, but i'm not following your "percentages" logic. would you mind explaining a little further?

thanks!

You just answered part of it...they just opened the door when they "challenged" you with the "if the recruiting function was done more "effectively" they would probably have 80-100 hires" remark.

To answer further - what are the percentage "norms" in theiindusty (in additon to the base $40-60,000)?

well, an internal recruiter is probably getting in the neighborhood of $1K in commission for each hire regardless of the skill set/level of candidate they are hiring.
