#OZREC 14: Reviewing Recruitment Fees

Agency fees normally astound people. I mean “all Recruiters do is just run ads and shuffle resumes around right?” On the flip side of the coin, it’s increasingly challenging for agencies to explain why they charge a certain amount. There is a wide disconnect between buyers and sellers of recruitment services.

This week we will have a look at the fees charged by agencies and the rationale for charging a certain amount. How much is enough? What do buyers get for their money? Where are fees heading?

QUESTIONS
