Which is ethically correct?
Equal opportunity; if an agency finds the role and makes the first introduction then they should be entitled to the same £3000 incentive.
OR
Conflict of interest; the agent has been retained by the employer and therefore a “success” fee of £3000 from Dom could represent a conflict of interest.

Hello Dom,
As promised I’m having a read. Personnally I think that there IS a conflict of interest UNLESS the agent and employer agree in advance.
Frankly, I don’t think any agent would risk a Client relationship for just £3k.
That’s my two-penny-worth.

Posted 30 Mar 2009 at 8:52 pm ¶Good news for employers. The feedback I am getting from some recruitment agencies is that instead of making a claim on the Introduction Fee they will be allowing their clients (the employers) to offset the fee against their recruitment fees.
Win win.
