How much do temp agencies pay employees?

Temp agencies do not directly pay the paychecks of those they assist with finding work. The way that temp agencies make money is by earning a percentage of the paycheck these employees are given from the job they are hired at from the connections made through the temp agency.

For employees who work full-time at temp agencies as recruiters, their salaries vary. Recruiters can make a huge variety of salaries, from around $40,000 to up to $200,000 annually. Typically, they have some base salary and can receive a commission from the temporary hires they connect with businesses.
