I accidentally upvoted instead of downvoted. It it of course nonsense that you are adding to the salary. If the employer is willing to pay £600, then you are taking X% of £600 and giving the employee (100-X)% of £600. The £500 figure that you are "adding" to is just an imaginary number that has no real significance.
Do recruiters really take as much as 20%? This seems ridiculously high to me. How much of their time are they investing compared to the employee?
