 |
|
Hello Everyone:
This is my first post. Thank you for allowing me to come onto the forum to contribute and ask questions. I will ask my first burning question.
Do some overseas companies provide an affiliate program so if you have a web site you get a commission for someone going to work for the company that you advertise?
I would like to find some of these programs so I can make some money from people becoming an employee of these companies. Can you send post the links here of some companies that do pay affiliates?
Thanks, Son of Indiana Jones  |

I have never heard of this.
Hypothetically, I have a side business selling widgets or proofreading services. Why should my employer (a high school, conversation school, business English agency, ALT dispatcher, university, etc.) pay me a fee/commission for getting someone else to work there? I suppose it's theoretically possible, but I certainly wouldn't count on making any money on it! |

Never heard of it, wouldn't touch it with a stick.
If a school is so hard up for teachers that it pays commission based recruitment fees, I just don't wanna know.
Best,

| There are LOADs of schools who pay commision to people who find them staff! What do you think recruitment agencies are? It is a universal and perfectly accepted way of recruiting. |

google "recruiter".
look at the job ads on this site. They are full of people and companies who do just what you are asking about. |

No doubt. I know perfectly well what recruitment agencies are.
The OP wasn't exactly describing setting up an agency, though, but merely posting advertising. This, in my opinion, should NOT be commissioned, because a commission would encourage ads to try to generate as MUCH volume as possible, rather than accurately represent the job so as to attract the RIGHT applicants.
I've worked in recruitment, and when I wanted or needed an ad, I paid for it. Commission on an ad...still doesn't make sense to me.
Recruiters are paid for a service. (Interviewing, selection, etc.)

There are loads of schools. But it isn't universal, as there are also some schools that don't do it.
I have worked in EFL for more than a decade, and have never worked through an agency.
I have hired dozens of EFL teachers and have never used an agency.
It may be "accepted" but there are a lot of agency practices I would advise against accepting.
Commission on advertisements is certainly one of them.
Best,
Justin |
