I don't think they literally get part of your paycheck. The company just agrees to pay the recruiter a certain percentage of the salary you are hired at. So if they get 10% and you get hired at 100K per year, you still get 100K per year, but your new employer then pays the recruiter 10K for finding you. -- Jacob Albretsen ja...@xmission.com http://blog.knine.net/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
