Most of the time, recruiters end up being recruiters just because they failed at everything else.Ouch. You cut me deep koevet.
In reference to point 6, allow me to dispell a myth here.
Let's say I am approached by a client who is looking for someone to do XYZ for three months and they want to pay the candidate £500 per day (nice round number).
If you are the candidate, I don't then offer you £400 a day and take 20%. I pay you £500 per day and charge the client in excess of £600. Every client knows that if they want a £500 a day candidate it will actually cost them a hell of a lot more than that to employ them through an agency.
Sometimes, if I have an amazing candidate who has been offered a job but is stalling because the money may not be as high as they would like, if the client won't pay more, instead I would lump another £25 per day to their take home and walk away with 15% instead of 20% but that very rarely happens.
TL;DR: We do not take our % out of your salary. We add our % on top of your salary and charge the client.
