Any recruiter who wants money to place you is incompetent at best and a scammer at worst.
To put this agreement in perspective, this recruiter has reduced their direct financial incentive to match you to the right company.
For a $80,000 a year job, they're looking at $16,000 for placing you. If they charge you 20% of that if you don't work out, that's $3200. If they spend 40 hours placing you, that's not a bad yearly income - if they just shotgun your resume, they can make real money.
And if the salary, fee, and your percentage are significantly higher, they can make really good money.
