Our demand is such that even with our fee, we still run at near max capacity.

Most of our clients hold similar deals with other recruiting agencies and are happy to pay such a price for this talent.

As we expand, we look forward to offering our recruiting service in more locales and at prices that make sense for the businesses there.

If they're doing the vetting, it's not much different from typical recruiter fees, though a tad on the high end.

@ownagefool, you are correct in your assumptions. We are staying a bit high to put our resources to the most efficient use.

No offense intended but when you sell it like that "We are staying a bit high to put our resources to the most efficient use" it basically screams like bullshit.

It'd be much sweeter sounding to just say you're developers, recruiting other developers, so you can vett them much better than career recruiters can. Offering that level of vetting is more time consuming, thus you are offering a premium service.

However, you might be better off sticking with the bullshit sounding answers, becaues I imagine your market isn't us, it's the business who can't vett their own guys.
