Seeking Insights on Billing Practices for Recruitment Services

Hello everyone! As a newcomer in the recruitment field, I’m looking to gather some insights on business setup. I have a strong database of candidates ready for placement and would like to understand the billing practices for recruitment companies.

For those of you who run your own recruitment agencies, could you please share how you structure your fees when successfully placing a candidate with a client? Do you charge a percentage of the candidate’s salary, a flat fee, a retainer, or something else? Additionally, as I specialize in medical recruitment, any insights specific to that field would be especially helpful.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Has anyone had any experience with them? I’m a bit concerned about their 46% attrition rate and the negative reviews on Glassdoor. I’d appreciate any insights from those who have recruited for them or have other perspectives to share.

Is it okay for the recruiter to ask for my date of birth ? And did I lose my chances of getting interviewed as I was hesitant to give it out?

Is it acceptable for a recruiter to ask for my date of birth? Am I jeopardizing my chances of getting an interview by being hesitant to provide it?

Update: It’s been two weeks, and I haven’t heard anything—I’m feeling a mix of emotions, primarily disappointment 😂😞.

To give you some context, this is a recruiter from the EU, so they might have different rules and regulations. We had a positive initial screening call, which I really enjoyed, and the recruiter seemed very friendly. However, they later reached out to ask for my date of birth, stating it was necessary to complete my application in their system.

I was a bit wary about sharing that information and asked if they needed it to meet a specific age requirement for the position, but they assured me that wasn’t the case. While I eventually provided my date of birth, I made sure to communicate my discomfort.

Now I’m wondering if I hurt my chances of moving forward in the interview process by expressing my hesitation. Did I give the recruiter the impression that I didn’t trust them? Could my age potentially be a factor against me for this corporate role?

[UK] What is the current state of recruitment software in this sector?

[UK] What’s the current landscape of recruitment software in the industry?

With over ten years of experience as a software developer, I’ve been involved in several bespoke projects for recruitment agencies.

I’m considering developing my own multi-tenant recruitment software that agencies can license, designed to support both temporary and permanent placements, complete with features like invoicing, bulk communication, and calendar management.

I’d like to understand the current state of recruitment software. Is there a strong demand for a comprehensive solution that can serve as the primary software for agencies or consultants? What are the prevalent licensed software options available today? Are there any leading companies that agencies typically rely on for their management systems?

I’m looking to evaluate whether this is a viable idea to pursue.

What do I do?

What should I do?

I joined a company with the aim of expanding our renewable energy business into the U.S. market. However, after six months in my role as VP, I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall. I’m struggling to connect with new clients, and our billings have only reached $110k during my time here.

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and I really want to meet my employer’s expectations. What are my options?

Filipino applying for a job in the US

Filipino Job Seeker in the US

Hi everyone! I’m currently waiting for my marriage-based work authorization here in the US, and I’m keen to understand how American employers perceive my qualifications. I would love to hear from anyone—both employers and others in similar situations—about their experiences.

Here’s a bit about my background: I have a well-established career in the Philippines where I served as Vice President of Compliance at an international outsourced bank (Wells Fargo). Prior to that, I held senior leadership positions at several other international banks. While I performed the same roles as my US counterparts, I worry that my overseas experience may not be as valued here. I’m concerned that employers might prefer candidates with US experience, which could result in me having to settle for a more junior position.

If anyone could share insights on the hiring culture in the US, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance!
