Do corporate recruiters get commission?

Most corporate recruiters are salaried employees, meaning they do not receive commission for the candidates they hire. However, some companies do offer commission-based pay for recruiters who are able to successfully bring in new hires. In these cases, the amount of commission a recruiter earns is typically a percentage of the new hire’s salary. For example, a recruiter might earn 5% commission on a new hire who is earning a salary of $50,000.
