On the topic of incentives: Does anyone know if a system where a recruiter's compensation is tied to their proposed candidates success/failure ratio as opposed to just the raw number of placements made? Or is it always just more implicit where if too many bad candidates are referred the company switches to a new recruiter?
I do not think its tied to the ratio. Its just tied to the absolute hits value. Yeah, if the recruiter is sending tons of unqualified resumes, then a company would end up changing it. But that does not happen often.
