There are three forms of headhunting companies, each with a different business model and different charging methods. First, at the top of the pyramid, the charging mode of headhunting companies mainly depends on the charging process, and it may be that more than half of the fees are collected before people are recruited.

The third is the batch recruitment of low and medium RPO, and the average candidate's monthly salary is 1.5-2 months as the recruitment fee.
