"The pay at IG is decent considering most of us are fresh out of college. The best part is that after 6 months with the company you get $10,000 and knowing once you become an account manager there is a lot of opportunity to make a lot of money!"

"The pay for a Recruiter here at Insight Global is on the lower end for what I would like to be making annually, but with hard work the pay can increase based on how many people you place. The wonderful thing is that the company is a fast pace environment always pushing you to be your best and provides promotion goals and unmatched opportunity with the company. You have to prepare yourself in the work force as a recruiter in order to be successful in other roles down the road."

"This is a tricky question because compared to other IT Staffing firms we do receive a lower base pay. The bright-side to this is that you typically are only a recruiter for the first 6-8 months and you are making 6 figures very soon. Although I do understand their reasoning in not paying us much off the get go, since recruiters are a huge part of what makes this company money and growth I do believe the base pay should be increased to closer to the average base."

From my own research a lot of companies offer you either nothing or not enough to pay your rent. Commission is awesome, but you won't have that from the get go at any job, that's why a good base salary is important. Once you start getting commission the sky is the limit."
