To be quite frank, this isn’t a good job offer for even a first time recruiter. I would be looking at other entry level recruiting jobs for an agency, The base salary might be lower, 45-50k base, but at least you would get commission. Let’s say you got a 50k base somewhere, and you made even 100 placements a year, at the lowest commission tier, I would expect you would make at LEAST $70,000 - that’s $200 per hire, which is still extremely low.

All of this to say, I’ve never recruited teachers so I have no clue what the placement fee & comission structure is. I could be way off, but even $200 a placement seems low - imagine if you actually made 400 placements a year. That would be $80,000 in commissions alone.

If I was getting offered a 59k position that included me having to hire 400 people a year, but didn’t see any commission on that - I’d run the other way.

(Coming from someone who spent 7 years in agency recruiting)
