[QUOTE="BOOGIE MAN, post: 15542762, member: 26082"] As someone who used to be a recruiter for an IT staffing firm, let me tell you that if a recruiter calls you about a job and says it pays, $45/hr, that means that they (the recruiting comp.) will pay you $45/hr, while the company that actually has the position pays the recruiting company $60/hr for your work. This is how contract stuff works. They get the company to pay the max they can and get the employee, the one actually doing the work, to take as little as possible, and the recruiting firm gets the difference. If it's a direct hire, the recruiters/staffing company get a percentage of the base salary for the position so it is in their best interest to get you as much money as possible. So a tip for any of you who get called by a recruiter for contract work. Play along, don't sign anything from them, like a right to represent, and find out who the position is actually with. Once you have that info, go apply for the job on your own. Take whatever number the recruiter said the job pays and add about 20% (most companies won't waste their time with a spread under 20%).
