Comment on: Topic 'Is it possible to start a recruiting business without prior experience?': l the while the company makes a hefty portion of the fees as long as one of their recruiters places the candidate.)"my question is why not?this reminds me of the recruiting tip I left hereIt takes years to really be good at this. You can and probably will make money before the "years" pass but to be very good at this, it takes time. There is nothing wrong with giving half your production away as long as you are learning and your placements are on the rise.There are many companies now that are building their business models on motivating recruiters not to give away the chunk of placement fees by way of creative split models and things like that but really, it's those recruiters who can't function in a normal recruiting environment that latch on to this. I don't advise being creative in the beginning of one's recruiting career. Go work for someone who is successful and will teach you how to do this right. "There are many companies now that are building their business models on motivating recruiters not to give away the chunk of placement fees by way of creative split models and things like that but really, it's those recruiters who can't function in a normal recruiting environment that latch on to this." It has been my experience over the past two years or so that more and more recruiting firms (up to probably 10 people) are not only willing but wanting to do more split work. And what is wrong with that? Recruiting budgets are contracting, there are more and more preferred vendor lists, access to information is easier than ever making speed a priority, let the average recruiter only places a very small percentage of candidates they source thus reducing the true margins of a placement significantly. And the fact is, the better a recruiter you are the more you are going to leave on the table. Why not expand your resources and monetize those assets? I take offense to the notion that the only recruiters who do splits are those who can't function in a normal recruiting environment. What is a normal recruiting environment (and I've worked in large offices)? Is it normal to source an excellent candidate that because of limited resources is placed through another firm? Is it normal to have a great job order and while you’re sourcing another firm completes the search? Since I made the full commitment to cooperate with other recruiters and firms my revenue and customer satisfaction have gone up significantly. I have found that combining resources moves more inventory and makes clients and candidates happier with more options and faster placements.…; Added by Christopher Poreda at 12:13pm on January 6, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'How to Choose a Headhunter - Honour Among Headhunters': rced on my own. As for not trusting recruitment firms....well, I guess. Another war story about inexperienced or less than ethical recruiters....what else is new. I'm just sorry it is so easy for flakos to be in our business. Like I've say, I've been apologizing for my competitors since I first got started in this business. As I had suggested 'trust' does not come easy for you, I'm sure 'caution' has always been one of your tools and I'm sure it has served you well. A reliable search consultant in Norway? Well, then it is true, after all, that one must on occasion go 'around the world' to find an honest man. We should tell Diogenes, he won't have to use up all that lamp oil walking around, LOL... If it is not proprietary I'd like to know what, specifically, you charge for recruitment fees. "differently"? On that 'competitive pricing', well, on contingency I go either full fee (33.3%) or as is more often seen, 25%; I won't go less than twenty-five percent although, as I'm typing this, I do remember agreeing to this with Litton Industries in Beverly Hills (Telecom Mgr) back in the early eighties and I think it was Seagate, yes, it was Seagate who got me at twenty percent (Quality Mgr), back sometime in 2001 or 2002. Not that I'd ever admit to it. I don't think I've ever had to 'compete' with anyone; when I've gone to twenty-five percent it was because it was that company's policy and I don't like to waste my time fighting City Hall. All my retained searches are at 33.3% plus expenses, no exceptions. As for your 'all on the same day' interviews, I don't have that kind of luck; my candidates come in at different times so having them all come in at the same time just never seems to apply as a possibility for me. You look organized, LOL, I guess you are organized, Martin! As for LI, I'm not suggesting it is the only source or that you had suggested this; just curious to know why you would bring it up since there are other sources for recruits other than LI.... That's why I was wondering if you are comparing notes... Wait, you set interview dates on the same day you get a search agreement? Boy, now that is organized. Oh and again about fees. I have run into situations where a client/possible client have told me they have recruiters who have agreed to as little as ten and fifteen percent. In these instances I simply tell them 'good' and wish them luck. I don't trust an employer who would tell me that and then suggest they would also see my candidates at my usual fee since if they show me they are willing to trust 'recruiters' who only charge ten or fifteen percent then I don't trust them overall. Seen too many companies go capricious on me halfway through a process to waste my time when there is 'something rotten in Denmark' at the outset of forming a search agreement. I only need to see the tip to know what the rest of the 'berg looks like and 'hoping' it gets better or that the client will magically act sanely after coming off wrong is not logical nor does it work. Better to cut it off sooner than waste time finding out after the fact I am dealing with a loose cannon. So, uh, speaking about 'loose cannons' what are they saying about President Obama over there? Be Well, Martin. Cheers, Paul…; Added by PAUL FOREL at 1:17am on March 3, 2014
