Would you rather have a higher base salary or mid-level salary plus commission per hire you bring in? I don’t know the percentage as this is just an idea my company is tossing around. I work in-house at a firm and not an agency!

I would rather have a higher base salary, I have worked in both settings. Also, I want to mention stability is important to me.
But with that being said, I found that commission brought on a lot of competition within peers. People calling each others candidates, competing for the amount of positions available, and all just to make their goal that month.
I think it’s a great business model only if it’s managed correctly, nevertheless I appreciate knowing my paycheck.
Knowing the positions I’m responsible for and not getting the short end of the stick.
