Executive Job Search Firms and Recruiters

Many companies hire people to find and recruit talented professionals. These specialists either work for a company, known as retained recruiters, or work as private contractors, known as contingency recruiters since their income is dependent upon successful referrals.

Some commissions from successful referrals can reach up to 30% of the new employee's beginning salary. Some companies will pay their employees lower salaries, so they can pay the commissions of retained recruiters. We encourage job seekers to spend their time networking during a job search instead of consulting with a contingency recruiter.
