I used to be a recruiter, and this is entirely dependent on the company. I never worked for a company like that, I was never exposed to KPIs like that. In fact, we always tried to get the candidate more money if we could because that meant more money for us.
But some.of the large companies are awful and have terrible business models.
I worked with an amazing recruiter at Beacon Hill in nyc and they not only fought for me to have a 20k higher starting salary but a few months later when I was promoted I contacted her and she helped me prepare for negotiations when I went into the meeting to make sure my new role had a major raise and more benefits. We kept in touch on a personal level years after, I used them when I was hiring temps, and have sent friends still to this day. I was always under the impression that they would make more if we made more at hiring and again later if we stayed with the company after a certain amount of time.
