Yep, but some of that bounty goes into a fund to head hunt new placements. You've probably encountered yourself without realising, when a recruiter meets you in town and buys you a coffee. He doesn't pay for that coffee the agency does.

Im not sure what its like ATM as i avoid recruiters like the plague these days, but it went nuts in the .com days. I remember people getting given cars as joining bonuses and all ksorts. It was mental.

Spending £200 quid a month on me, at the time didnt even raise an eye lid. It probably would now, but so much then.
