"Underpaid for the recruiting but as I said the goal is to go make the money in the sales realm, recruiting isn't where the money is even as a professional recruiter. Even though that the core of the company is the recruiters filling the positions, they do not pay them on the same scale. I think that this could be improved upon."

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."
