TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
On this topic, Christine Anameier noted: "... you mentioned a recruiter.
I wonder what kind of cut they're
taking on this deal. It's conceivable that the company may be offering a
more reasonable amount but the recruiter is taking a big chunk of it.)"
Just a little factoid for the newbies: The last time I hired a
temp/contractor through an agency (six months ago), I had to pay a
little over $30/hr and the TW received just under $17/hr. The agency was
taking a 45% slice for themselves.
YMMV
