Actually, in recruiting you pay nothing until one lump sump when you hire someone. Here, you pay EACH TIME, and it adds up (even if it adds up to less than 20% recruiting fee, it still feels like constantly paying)

Sites like Monster charge employers quite a bit. Even LinkedIn has services for employers that are more expensive.

That's true but once an agency finds the right candidate you have to pay a lot to hire him/her, like 3 months salary.

I am a recruiter. My team and I charge by the hour.
