Salary Offers They Can’t Refuse
How much money, above what an employee’s currently making, does it take to get them to switch jobs? It depends, of course. (And of course, it’s not all about money.) But as part of its 2009 Employee Job Satisfaction report, SHRM (the big association of HR people) asked employees what percentage salary increase would motivate them to [...]The 10% Flat Fee: Yay or Nay?
On the same day that ExecuNet’s June survey of 145 executive recruiters revealed a 7% drop in confidence (50% compared to 57% last month) over improvement in the executive employment market, along comes a competitor that might make you shudder. An executive recruitment company has just announced its plans to undercut competitors by offering a flat [...]Introducing…Towers Watson?

Why Should We Hire You, and The 30 Second Pitch!
As a recruiter, we all hear the "not very-well thought out" responses to "why should we hire you" and so forth.
My first piece of praise, would be, you have already baited the hook by applying for the position, the fish took the bait when you got the interview. Now, take an… Continue

"Redefining You!"
At one point or another, I am pretty sure all of us have experienced the "edge of the seat," "nail-biting suspense" of being on the "chopping block." Fearful of getting that dreadful "pink-slip," self evaluation often comes at a time when, let's face it...it's a little t… Continue

Comment on The 10% Flat Fee: Yay or Nay? by Neil McNulty
I have read the bio. It is very impressive. But selling search and placement is far different than selling franchises or financial services...things he was a superstar doing. I wish him success because he has the guts to enter this business but, with over 25 years at this, I have seen this model (or very similar variations) at least ten times before. Zero succeeded. However, they also told the Wright brothers that if man was intended for flight... At the end of the day, cash flow is oxygen, and fees between 20 and 30 percent are the entire survival spectrum based upon this industry's 60+ years of trial and error. At 20 percent, a firm barely covers costs at two placmeents per desk per month.Comment on Dear TFL by Tim Mattis
How do I get a hold of Paul Hawkinson?Comment on The 10% Flat Fee: Yay or Nay? by Dave Staats
If someone is providing value ,covering costs and making a profit then the numbers don't matter a lot. My own prejudice has me too lazy to sell 30%,absolutely committed to 25% with an engagement fee,willing to do 25% contingency if I do not have to source and scornful of 20%ers and amused by anything less. But that's just me... The only disturbing thing about any of this is that I know a chunk of the oddball pricing models are put forth by people too lazy or too stupid to sell the value of what they do. That's when it bugs me...yet, I know there's some guy somewhere who'll think this about what I just wrote. Que sera sera. As Harry says though...taking on risk makes money...It is just gambling albeit experience is a good trainer for what to gamble on. Look at the insurance industry...Comment on The 10% Flat Fee: Yay or Nay? by Harry Joiner
We are not talking about reducing fees here. We are simply talking about 1.) taking some of the client's risk out of the transaction, and 2.) making the deal affordable. Do what you want -- but history's greatest marketers (Jay Abraham, Rosser Reeves, David Ogilvy, Gary Halbert, etc) have long preached the gospel of "risk reversal" to increase one's business.
