It is yet another layer we have to go through to reach our clients. Furthermore, only one of our clients use it and we stopped working with that client. They ask for a reduced placement fee for doing nothing. We have these corporations as existing clients anyway so, there is no need for their service. Our firm will not use bountyjobs.

BountyJobs charges employers $250 per job posting. 2. BountyJobs charges the successful recruiter 25% (potentially $7,500 to $12,500 or more to BountyJobs!) 3. BountyJobs retains the full fee for 90 days, earning the interest Most search firms are small businesses; a 25% drop in income is substantial. Additionally, BountyJobs claims the recruiter's cost is justified by saving time hunting for search assignments and collecting fees. In actuality, a successful search firm like ours spends very little time looking for search assignments and collecting fees. Something to think about before joining BountyJobs:

Our site is reletively new but about 100 recruiters have been successful and we are adding between 3 and 5 new successful recruiters per week (existing successful recruiters get more into it and make many more placements...) Please contact us if you would like references. Our number 1 performer has 9 placements for about $130,000 and our highest fee placed to date was $50,000 for a VP of information security. Many recruiters have between 3 and 6 placements. It takes a couple of months to get the feel of it and learn how best to do business in the BountyJobs environment, but once people figure it out, they do very well! The most important skill in success is the ability to identify the most responsive employers. Much like the offline world, it is not easy to fill these jobs, but I assure you that with some hard work and perseverence, a good recruiter will do quite well on our site!
