Flat Commission

How Does Recruitment Commission Work?

Recruitment consultants are commonly rewarded through a combination of basic salary and commission. Commission is normally linked to the revenue or gross profit generated by the recruiter, although the exact structure varies between recruitment businesses.

Flat Commission

A flat commission scheme pays the same percentage on all qualifying billings above any applicable threshold. For example, a recruiter generating £15,000 of commissionable monthly billings at 20% would earn £3,000 commission. Compare typical salaries, commission and OTE in our Recruitment Consultant Salary Guide.

Tiered Commission

Tiered schemes increase the commission percentage as billings rise. This can reward higher-performing recruiters with progressively higher commission rates. Enter your own billing bands above to estimate how a tiered structure could affect your earnings.

What Is a Recruitment Commission Threshold?

A threshold is the level of billings that must be generated before commission becomes payable. Some recruitment businesses operate without a threshold, while others deduct a threshold before applying the relevant commission percentage.

What Does OTE Mean in Recruitment?

OTE means On-Target Earnings. It usually combines a recruiter's basic salary with the commission or bonus they could earn when achieving the expected performance level. Actual earnings can be higher or lower depending on individual performance and the employer's commission structure.
