Recruiters typically get paid through a combination of salary and commission. The base salary may cover the recruiter’s expenses and provide a steady income, while the commission is earned based on the successful placement of candidates in job openings. The commission can be based on a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary, a flat fee per placement, or a combination of both. Some recruiters may also earn bonuses for filling a certain number of job openings within a given timeframe. Recruiters working for staffing agencies are typically paid on a 100% commission basis. They typically earn a percentage of the revenue generated by the candidate they place in a job. There are also contingency recruiters who are paid only when they successfully place a candidate in a job. Recruiters working in-house for a company may be paid a combination of salary and bonus. It’s also worth noting that Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) providers are paid by a company to handle all or part of their recruitment process.
