10-15% of first year salary sounds like a laughably high commission. Surely it can't cost >$5K to find a good coder... Frankly, I don't see why it should cost more than 1K, tops, to find an excellent, excellent coder...

I have met recruiters that ask for 33% of first year salary. And I'm guessing that many settle for 15-25%.

Many companies pay referrals of $5-10k. So you could be making a lot of money if it's really that easy :)
