Hold them captive from young and 1 customer can give maybe 4 times of commissions since possibly will leave to 4 different places.

They should be regulated more. And they should touch their conscience and contribute to addressing the perennial problem with attrition rather than be a vulture and take advantage. Have some code of ethics imposed on them to muzzle them from talking crap about diff firms - one day they bitch about other firms next day they kowtow to these same firms if theres mandate. What perverse lack of conflict interest is this. I have personally encountered recruiters changing allegiance on firms and the names i saw earlier are not unfamiliar to me.
