20k basic + roughly 15 - 20% commission. This would bring your salary above 40k.
The ~20% commission is based on the salaries of staff placed and not the base salary.do you not mean 24k for 20% commission on 20k.
Cheers lightup, that clears it up a bit. As I was posting I realised something was wrong as the commission was eating up all the incoming funds so nothing to cover overheads etc..So to make €20,000 commission in a year you would need to make 2/3 placements a month.
I know 2 people (very close friends) who do\have worked in recruitement. It is very competitive, long hours, no flexibility and everything is about the money. Its a bit like the idea of the stock exchange where everyone is climbing all over each other to make more money than anyone else. As the bulk of your income is determined by commission you will feel constantly under pressure to meet ever increasing targets.
You won't learn new skills over time, there isn't much of a career path and its a very repetitive job, always making and taking the same phone calls etc etc.
I would be careful about going into it. In fact its a bit like a pyramid scheme where part of your commission goes to your direct manager and it all feeds up to the top where the owners mint it.
