Anybody ever had a legal recruiter stiff them on a referral fee? My friend got a great job out of the situation so that’s what is important, but I’m curious if it’s a common practice for recruiters?

A little stunned that this actually happens. Some recruiters are just unfortunately extremely short sighted. Look to see if they are part of the National association of legal search consultants and report them if they are.

Oh good suggestion, I will take a look at that!

Recruiters are notorious for not paying referrals after they have placed the candidate you referred.

I thought about it (I’ve done plenty of these for clients), but not sure if it’s worth the time/energy to actually collect something!

Ooo. Can we have some follow up? I literarily just handed over myself to a recruiter 😩

They did a great job for my friend, and she was super happy with the experience! They’re out of state so I don’t really have any recourse (and I probably wouldn’t do anything anyways), but I’m very annoyed and it is a terrible/unethical business practice.

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?
