The first interview was very straight forward with HR talking about the company culture and how I would fit in. I accepted the interview because a friend that worked there raved about the company. I then met with the owner and immediately was thrown off by his standoffish attitude. The subject of commission structure came up, not in terms of money, but how recruiters are paid. I was then astonished to learn that I would not get paid commission until “he could make some money on me”. In other words, they needed to make a profit off of me before commission would be paid. That is simply despicable and unheard of in sales or recruiting and offers no incentive to perform. I got up and left without saying a word, what a waste of time. I would t have accepted an offer if I had stuck out the interview.
