How to Approach Recruiting for a Comission Only or High Comission Job

To become a savvy international recruiter, www.onlineinternationalbusinessdegree.org  offers relevant business management courses that can help you. If you can't wait to finish your degree in business, here are some tips to get you started in the recruitment business.

There is no one recruiting method for all types of positions. Each positions requires a different strategy. In the case of a job that is high comission or or only comission, you generally want people calling you - not the other way around.

A comission only job is one of those jobs where only a certain type of person is looking for. A person that wants salary or hourly may or may not be open to a comission job. But a person that wants a comission job wants a comission job and is thus a more likely candidate.

Here are some of my quick thoughts on this type of recruiting:

1) Place ads in a lot of free/inexpensive places- Post ads whereever you can. If you do not have a budget. Then hit the free places first. Goto Craigslist, eBay Classifieds, Indeed, and all the other sites that you can think of that you cna post jobs for free. Generally, you want people calling you or you want people sending resumes to you.

2) Be very direct in the ad- People do not like to get decceived. If it is a comission job, then explicitly state that on the ad. Again, you'll have less responses than if you explicitly said it was a comission job, but the ones you do get (if they read the ad) will know it is comission.

3) Try to send a few emails- not a lot- After you post ads, I would look at a job board and try to find potential candidates. Do a few key word searches. Try to look for people who have done something similar in the past or somehow on their resume would want a comission job. Do not get burned out by calling or sending tons of cold call types resumes. You will only get frustrated.

4) Consider going to a big job fair- Try a local job fair or two. Again, be very explicit that you are looking for comission only jobs. You want to spend time talking only to the people who know that and would consider that- no one else.
