Comment on: Blog Post 'What do Your Commission Plans and Metrics Look Like?': above their base they should receive commission. I have never heard of any sales rep not being paid commission, in any industry, because they ddn't make a certain number of cold calls, didn't pass out enough business cards or any other metric that somebody comes up with. In my opinion using some metric to avoid paying commission when a recruiter is placing people is a phony metric that discourages any sales person. I would agree that learning the pieces and parts is the basis of what we do but if it takes longer than six months for someone to learn them they probably are not going to make it in recruiting. That being said, the objective of what we do is placing people. I worked for a metrics freak when I first started in the business. After three months of fussing at me because I had not filled out all her little reports, she came in and said she didn't understand how I was placing people without following the metrics. When I explained that it occurred to me that taking a good candidate and getting them an interview or taking a job order and finding a candidate that fit and getting them interviewed made more sense to me than making 20 mindless cold calls so I could put numbers in little boxes, she looked perplexed and went back to her office. To make her happy I slapped lots of bogus numbers in her little forms and went right on doing what I was doing. When my cash in hit over 100k (1977 numbers) at the end of the third quarter, her husband came in and asked me what support I needed, an assistant, a bigger office, what? Just one thing will help, get the metrics monster off my tail. The time I spend making up all these numbers is time that could be spent selling people. It's called working smart and focused instead of throwing numbers at the wall. He agreed and I broke every record for cashin in their 40 year history. My base was minimum wage, I had to make three times my base cash in per month then got 20% commish on anything over that and commissions were paid quarterly. It didn't take but about another eight months for me to figure out that starting my own agency was worth the risk. In line with my feeling about metrics monsters, when I start a new recruiter no matter what their base. The first placement they make they get the full fee, the house takes nothing. I want recruiters who take the attitude that their desk is their own business. I help them start their business and teach them what they need to do to make their business work. However they want to run it after that is up to them. My ,ER, uh, personal brand is that the objective is to drain the swamp, not count the alligators, paint pink spots on their heads or figure out how many toes each one has on each foot.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 12:30pm on March 12, 2013
