Commission Help?!?!

Hi All

I own a small engineering company that has done “some” staffing on the side in addition to our core business.  I have decided to expand the staffing division and would like to use a commission based compensation model.  I have done some googling on the topic and found many different concepts.  I plan on having a sales person on the phones all day trying to get new reqs and a recruiter trying to fill said reqs.  I like to think of myself as an employee first owner and would like my folks to be happy and stick with me for the long haul.  I guess that means I am willing to pay a little bit more for loyalty.  Both the salesperson and the recruiter will have a base pay of $20 per hour.  I pay medical, vacation, holidays and also pay for all of the tools.  We will be doing both permanent placement and hourly placements.

 

What models have you enjoyed the most?

What is your sales commission?

What is your recruiting commission?

When do the commissions kick in and when does it stop? 

Please help a newbie out?!?!?

 

Best Regards

 

Chris

How our commission system work today:

1. employee has a specific earning target
i.e. lets say the target is $10,000 in earnings a month

2. the miminum amount is set once employee reaches 100%
i.e. if the employee reaches 100%, he will get $500, if he gets more if he gets more than 100 of the overall goal
if the employee does not reach more than 70%, he does not get a commission

That's how simple it is for us.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
