Value vs. Volume of Commissions?

Only a year old in this game and am still on a serious learning curve, but I have a change-up of strategy I want to ask folks about. I use to go for the high commission placements only, struggling for a hit, and waiting way too long for payday. Doing just the opposite, now I am focusing on posting jobs, naming my fee and moving on and allowing other recruiters a piece of the action. I feel like the “bookie” in my house. I’ve been using Dayak because they seem to fit into that Web 2.0 trend like Twitter and Linkedin. Just wondering who else is using this approach, value vs. volume of commissions?

A lot depends on the relationships with your clients. We have used 'partner' recruiters here at Peak, but only if we KNOW that if they find a GREAT candidate, that we have a good enough relationship with our client , they will get a hire$$$$$.
It is not hard to get positions, but our motto here at Peak Resource Group is "if we are going to get NO result, we would rather DO nothing :-)" I think we have all put in the endless hours at this point - we are all old pro's.
Clients we love - love us - and will hire our people; so putting in the night and weekend effort, in the end is worth it. (and our 'partner' recruiters know their time and effort is valued here?)

was my two cents worth - really worth two cents?
