Hi all,
A common practice in high tech is to pay employees a "finder's fee" or bonus
for bringing in an engineer, for example, because it saves the company
recruiting costs, among other reasons.
I'm curious: Is such a thing commonplace when recruiting technical writers?
And if so, how much was the "fee", and was it paid to you once the new
employee was there a certain amount of time?
As a newbie, I was just wondering if this is done.
