Commission help
In the Recruiting & Staffing Forum:
A member writes: "I have a chance
to set up my own commission structure
and would love some feedback from
others on what they like about their
current plans. This is a new office
that has never had a selling branch
manager before. The salary is lower
than I currently make, but they
asked me to come up with a suggestion
for a commission structure to make
up the difference. Should I ask
for 10 percent of the gross profit
margin for every placement at a
new client I bring in? And 25 percent
of any perm fee? I am an in-house
recruiter now and have not been
in an agency for about four years.
What are the top companies paying
good salespeople? Thoughts?"

are investing the appropriate amount
of time and resources in the front-end
planning of the HR life cycle, and
that this strategy is aligned with
the organizational and business
strategies needed for bottom-line
success.
Workforce Management and
APQC invite you to benchmark, at

organization’s practices for creating
and managing competitive HR planning,
policy and strategies.
