Are you comfortable being paid on a 100% commission basis?

Many Agency Recruiters work on a 100% commission basis; however, not all of them. It's vital that you fully understand the pay structure offered by the recruitment agency before accepting any job offer.

The interviewer would like to know if you are happy with being paid solely on your performance. Whether the job pays 100% commission may not be the exact point of this question. Assure the interviewer that you are confident in your ability to be a top performer, regardless of commissions or a comfortable base salary. Show that you can work hard and be paid based on your performance alone.
