We are a small agency looking to hire a New Business Consultant, this is a new role for us as our current consultants do this role to some degree.

We are looking for suggestions on commission structures...do you pay on amount of jobs received? New clients? Placed jobs? Unsure how to develop this role....

Suggestions and advice welcomed

Difficult one as it always is.

You need suitably experienced people and I suggest paying a high basic more than anything - Gamble, but experience tells me this is the best route.

New business consultants, like normal recruitment consultants do what they need to, to get the most comission - despite what they say in interview.

If you pay comission on all jobs recieved, you'll get lots and lots of Jobs - a large proportion wont be solid, relavent jobs though.

If youu pay comission on New clients, you will have a extensively populated database of lots of new clients.

If you base it on placed jobs, this puts the control beyond that of the NBD'r, which, if the do create solid tangiable jobs that dont get filled - you will lose the person fast.

Best route - High basic, combined with an anually calculated bonus...

Pay it on jobs filled, you are not payin somone to sit there and collect job descriptions. You want somoene that can complete the 360 degree recruitment cycle, job recieved don't mean anything if they are impossible to fill. focusing on jobs where the NBC can actually fill them will make sure that they bill as much as possible.
