Senior Recruiters - I've been getting recruited for a very senior recruiting role by a company whose internal model works like an agency. Comp is comprised of a base, plus commission on your hires. I'm not totally sure how I feel about this. Have any of you ever worked on this model as an internal recruiter? It seems like there could be a solid potential upside, but that it also could create a ton of stress. Anybody have any insights into this?

I would ask what their top performer is and their company average. Hopefully they are honest. I currently work for a base plus commission and extremely stressful to say the least

It could be good but they may low ball you on base or the commission is in place of a bonus. Negotiate a higher base if it’s not market.

I would ask what the top and average performers take home usually look like to get a good idea of how beneficial the structure is

To me the model is a huge red flag. The incentives seem like they’re set up for volume in and out the door

I work in this model, and it’s worked very well for me, since it’s truly a bonus on top. but I’d ask about metrics on top of what others have said, to see what would be expected of you.

I had an interview last week with the hiring manager and he told me that they will get back to me if I proceed to the next round early this week. I emailed him but he said his ppl/the HR will reach out to me to update on the progress next week. Is that a bad sign? I felt the convo went well with him but idk why he’s not telling me if I proceed or not himself.

This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem.
