I needed flexibility in my schedule and something that would still provide a potential 6 figure income. Recruiting was natural for me, since I was heavily involved with lateral recruiting and OCI at my firm.
I am very happy I made the switch. However, many of the people I started with are no longer recruiting. This job is tough, especially for high performing individuals who aren't used to taking "no" a hundred times a day and being ignored. The inconsistency in pay checks, especially in your ramp up is also hard to deal with.
But the pay when things go your way, and the feeling you get when helping someone land a big come up is amazing. I do not regret getting into this field, I hate cold calling but networking and business development comes very naturally.
This has been super helpful. Thanks so much for all of your comments!
Seems if you place 5 people at market comp you're making a big law salary, at least from straight 20% annual salary commission. Curious how the split is between the recruiter and their agency.
I was told the fee is equal to 3 months salary. Seems consistent with the above range.
