Some telltale signs of an agency recruiter is their ability to handle high degrees of stress and their drive to maximize income creation opportunities (commission-driven). Headhunters efficiently multi-task, negotiate, and successfully handle a variety of clients and candidates compared to internal/corporate recruiters who only service ONE client: their employer.
Since agency recruitment is more along the lines of entrepreneurship due to the heavy business creation and revenue generation focus of the role, it's less of a job, more of a longer term career to truly see the fruits of your labor.
Due to this huge distinction, agency recruiters are able to access higher income achievements due to the commission-heavy nature of this fast-paced sales job.
