What is the name of your state? CA
I am currently negotiating a job that I have found the IT industry through an employment agency. It seems though, that I won't be able to get the job because the agency is asking for too much money. Through some inside sources, I know that the agency is asking the company for 200% of the salary that I have requested. The agent is lying to me because he's saying that company is only asking for 115%, so they can make 15% in profit. Unfortunately, it seems that I won't be able to get the job because the company is not going to pay such a high amount. Is there a standard for commissions that an employment agency can usually look to collect, or can they really request any amount they want?
