Cristina Lewis posted a blog postHi HR/Corporate Recruiter! It's Me, the "Different Agency Recruiter"?
Hello again, everyone! Since the last discusson was very informative, I want to pick the brains of corporate recruiters now. Since I am an agency recruiter and new to client development, I want to know the opinions of recruiters on "the other side" of the game. I know HR and corporate recruiters are tired of being approached by one agency after another saying that they are "different" and can provide some sort of magical recruiting service that the rest cannot. When I call HR and corporate…See More
Cristina Lewis commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"I agree too! This is a great site with great input from all!"
"100% Agree Chris. We all have a ton to learn from people like you, Jerry, Sandra and many, many others on this site. "
Christopher Perez commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"Will, to your point, as long as RBC remains a trust-based community where people can bring up issues and get constructive criticism and input, I think this type of discussion will flourish. Of course, "constructive criticism" is open to…"
"This site is awesome for discussions like this. I have enjoyed reading this thread. There is such a wealth of knowledge from successful recruiting professionals. BIG money makers in the business. Great advice by all.…"
Cristina Lewis commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"Thanks so much, Jeremy and Christopher. Just in the process of developing my thick skin with clients I suppose lol. I love that we have this site as a resource. It's GREAT. So much helpful advice and different ways of seeing things."
Jeremy Spring commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"Also (and I'll try to make this my final reply), I've never successfully completed a search with just one candidate. The odds that the candidate you presented blindly would actually be "the one" are very unlikely. So,…"
Jeremy Spring commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"Not to worry. One of my very first prospects as a recruiter did the same thing. I was furious! And sad. And confused. And I doubted I had the intestinal fortitude to be successful in the business. I even sent her a long…"
Christopher Perez commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"If you're in the game, you're going to get your nose bloodied now and then. You have a professional attitude about it and there's no shame in asking for advice. I have learned a lot from this crowd as well over the past few years.…"
Cristina Lewis commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"Thanks so much for the great advice, everyone. Wow I think I really goofed this one up. Well, it was a great lesson learned. I learned a lot from this thread."
Jerry Albright commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"Connect THEN Fee Discussion THEN Signed Fee Agreement THEN Recruit/Present - in that order, always and forever.
You are now in a position where the client might come back with "We can only pay a 10% fee." which then puts the…"
Cindy J. Biter commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"Don't give up just yet. If she forwarded it to legal, it may take some time. I've had legal take up to two weeks, depending upon the size of the company. Wait a day or two, then give her a call. Tell her that…"
Leah Olsen commented on Cristina Lewis's blog post 'Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?'"I agree with what has been said, especially Sandra's advice.
I want to address your fear of being "money hungry". As an entire industry, Recruiters MUST not apologize for the cost (VALUE!) of our services. After 1.5…"

Hi everyone! So, I just started a new job in April with a GREAT firm. I am now responsible for working both sides of the desk. This is my first experience with client development, so I wanted some helpful tips. I met a director of HR for a local company at a professional networking event. She told me she was looking for a corporate recruiter that has experience specific to the industry she works in. Within a day, I found her an AMAZING candidate (name blocked out of course because at that…
Continue What do Your Commission Plans and Metrics Look Like?

I'm wondering what different agency commission plans look like. Do you have to meet metrics to be eligible for commission?
My metrics are based upon interviews, reference checks, send outs, interviews, and of course placements.
Is it pretty typical for a recruiter to not receive commission for the first year of work even if their placement goals are met?
