How much commission can you usually get from a headhunter?

Enterprises entrust the recruitment of positions to headhunting companies, and the headhunting companies need to charge a certain commission for headhunting services based on the position. The charging standard mainly depends on the three aspects of rate, payment method, and guarantee period.

1. Rates

Foreign headhunting companies are more than 30 years earlier than domestic ones, so now there are many foreign-funded or Sino-foreign joint venture headhunting companies in China. The rates of such companies are generally 30 %-35% or so.

The general fee rate of domestic headhunting companies is about 20%-30%, which depends on factors such as the difficulty of recruiting positions, scarcity, job level and salary.

2. Payment methods

The charging methods of headhunting companies can be divided into three types:

A. Prepayment charges:

Double After reaching a cooperation agreement, the company first pays an advance payment ranging from RMB 10,000 to RMB 30,000, which can be used for subsequent job recruitment costs. The remaining fees will be collected in one go after job recruitment. (Prepayment customers will generally be more actively recommended by headhunters, with higher success rates and shorter cycles)

B. Pay based on results:

Generally, no advance payment is charged, and the position The first payment for recruitment is usually 50%-80% of the total cost, and the balance is paid after the candidate passes the guarantee.

C. Pay according to the process:

Recommended resumes, 25% will be paid before the interview is confirmed, 25% will be paid if the candidate passes the interview, 25% will be paid if the candidate joins the job, and 25% will be paid if the candidate passes the guarantee period. , the specific proportion can be determined through negotiation.

3. Service Guarantee Period

Taobao shopping still has 7 days to return goods without reason. The headhunting service is also very user-friendly. Generally, it takes 1-3 months after the candidate joins the job. Guarantee period, some extremely high-end positions can have a guarantee period of up to 6 months if necessary. If the candidate resigns within the guaranteed period, the headhunting company can substitute the candidate for free once, and the headhunting service for the position will end after the balance payment is expired.

What needs to be emphasized here is that the guarantee period is not equal to the candidate's probation period, but the headhunting company's service guarantee for corporate customers, which can also be understood as the customer's probation period.
