The biggest benefit is that Recruiters can usually find applicants through more active searches. This benefits the applicant because it gets around the pile of applicants that come through their posting for example. We also interview the candidate and pass on the ones that we feel are strong fits, you're not stuck in a mountain of applicants, so the candidate usually gets eyes on their resume and recruiter presentation helps the client understand why we believe they're somebody that should be moved on in the process, as we give a synopsis of the candidate.
There are also other benefits to the client DMCL in terms of candidate vetting for example.
Yes we get a fee, if they select our candidate, obviously I'm not going to go into a great deal of detail.
The other benefit for the potential candidate is that I'm working on other roles for example in the financial world and after a discussion I might also submit for multiple roles.
Hope this helps.

I was not asking what/how you got paid. I assume you got paid, but that's between you and the company. I was just was curious as to how the process worked. I have seen recruiters work with companies and they get an exclusive, so it doesn't matter if the company or the recruiter brings in the hire, the recruiter gets paid either way. This allows the recruiter to be able to advertise the company's name. The DMCL posting didn't seem like that one, so I guessed if you bring them someone they hire, that you get compensated for that. As essentially every CPA firm in Vancouver is hiring almost every level, I had not seen them use recruiters before. It's almost gotten to the point where a CPA leaves one firm and walks down the street and starts work at another firm the same day if they want.
