Posted on May 23, 2013 at 7:30pm 28 Comments 1 Like
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.

Is it pretty typical for a recruiter to not receive commission for the first year of work even if their placement goals are met?
