This article is a great comeback to a client who thinks our markup is too high. I agree with all of these points, and love how this portrays our worth as recruiters.

As for the comment above regarding humans as commodities and the other mentioning charging a fee to poeple who are out of work…that is not how this works. Clients are hiring managers and they are charged a fee for the service of finding a quality employee. Candidates/applicants are charged nothing. The sevice to them is free. I have never heard of a recruiter charging a fee to it’s candidates, but rather the sevice is to help them find the next best thing for them and their situation. Recruiters are the good guys. Candidates come to us in their time of need and employers use our services to cut out the dirty work of sorthing through hundreds of unqualified resumes, relentless interviewing, and placing someone who turns out to be the wrong fit. We as recruiters do the dirty work for them. They have a better chance of finding the right candidate in less time with less effort.

This article was written in 2005 and here I am responding in 2010. How things have changed in the sourcing and recruiting world. Today, top Corporate recruiters who have been establishing solid connections as a result of social networks, are actually doing a much better job than a third-party recruiter would. I just found an executive and saved the company $75,000, and it was done in 30 days from the time I met with the hiring manager to the time the offer was accepted. Having first hand knowledge of the company, the culture, its goals and objectives, being able to discuss the employee value propositon and other knowledge about the company that an internal recruiter has, were huge in selling the company and the position to the candidates.
