Commission on New Business
I’m interested in understanding the commission structure for new business. If I bring in a new client and someone else takes on a role, will I still receive a commission? If I do, how long will that last? Is it based on the duration the company continues to allocate roles? I work as a 360 recruitment consultant.
Recruiter Interview Experience
A friend of mine recently interviewed for a talent acquisition position at an IT firm, and I was taken aback by the depth of the questions posed by the interviewer. They asked him to define various properties of OOP concepts, explain the SOLID principles, and even posed some challenging queries about Java, AWS, and GCP. The interviewer insisted that a recruiter should be familiar with these topics to effectively screen candidates during the initial phone interviews.
For those who have interviewed recruiters, do you think it’s reasonable to expect them to have such an in-depth understanding of IT concepts?

New Business Revenue Split Inquiry
I collaborate with four sourcing consultants and one 360 recruitment consultant. The 360 consultant, who is new to our team, has begun engaging in business development. She mentioned that when she secures new business but is unable to fulfill the positions herself, the roles are handed off to the sourcing consultant. She believes the revenue should be split 30% to her and 70% to the sourcing consultant. She argues that this arrangement should apply to all new business she brings in, as well as any placements she cannot fill, for a period of 12 months after acquiring the client.
Is this the correct approach?
What does it mean when a job ad is reuploaded on Jobstreet?
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some insights from recruiters.
I recently checked a job posting on Jobstreet and noticed that it was reuploaded just hours after my interview. Does this mean I wasn’t shortlisted for the position, or is the reuploading process automatic on Jobstreet?
I’m starting to overthink this, as I really want to join the organization. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
I’m looking for software that can assist with managing and streamlining the resume process for our school’s hiring needs. To give you some background, I’ve recently joined an established school in India that receives between 50 to 80 applications daily. These resumes are sent to a single email account, printed, reviewed for key highlights and suitability, photocopied with comments, and then submitted to upper management for interview scheduling and further action.
I’m hoping to find a solution that can:
A) Allow for bulk uploading of all resumes to create a centralized candidate database.
B) Include intelligent search features to filter resumes by specific keywords such as “degree,” “location,” or “years of experience.”
C) Help manage the application process by tracking the status, follow-ups, and notes on each candidate.
Any suggestions?
As a recruiter, would you consider hiring a working mom eager to rejoin the workforce?
I need to get this off my chest.
I’ve applied to over 50 companies and interviewed with more than 30, but so far, I’ve received zero job offers. It’s been three months of submitting applications.
Initially, I brushed off the rejections, thinking perhaps the interviews didn’t go well or that they found a better fit. However, I’ve started to suspect that discrimination may be at play. Once they learn that my career gap was due to my pregnancy and that I now have a baby boy, I often get asked who will take care of him, which raises red flags. It’s frustrating because I wouldn’t even be applying if I didn’t have childcare lined up or if I wasn’t ready to return to work. My standard response is that we have childcare covered.
I’m feeling really disheartened and demotivated after so many rejections.
P.S. I work in a highly competitive field where there is typically one position open for hundreds of applicants.
A refreshing change!
I usually have some concerns about recruitment practices, but I truly appreciate this level of efficiency and the respect for my time!

Looking for Recommendations on Invoice Factoring
Hello everyone,
I’ve been operating a temp recruitment agency for just over eight months and overall, things have been running smoothly. However, I haven’t paid myself yet, despite the business performing well, as I’m focused on maintaining a healthy cash flow.
Lately, the business has been growing, and I’m noticing that expenses are rising faster than incoming cash. I’m considering the option of working with an invoice factoring company, but I’m unsure if it’s the right choice.
I’ve established a positive connection with one company and have received an appealing offer, but I’m conflicted about whether to go this route. Utilizing factoring could certainly accelerate growth and enable me to hire more staff.
I’d greatly appreciate any advice or insights you may have on this topic. Thank you!
Where can I find recruiters?
Hello! I have a solid experience in my career and I’m looking to transition from an agency role to an in-house position. Does anyone know how I can discover which recruitment agencies specific companies or brands partner with when they’re not utilizing in-house recruiters? Any insights would be appreciated! Thank you!
