What is a contingency recruiter?
A Contingency Recruiting Agency does an employee search on a contingency basis for a company. The recruiter is paid by the hiring company upon a successful hire/placement. The recruiter is responsible to do the initial recruiting, screening and interviewing. The contingency recruiter will also arrange interviews with the candidates for the client/company. The company pays either a flat fee or a percentage of the first year’s salary. The jobseeker does not pay a fee.
