I actually do something like this already. I don't do the cold calling and stuff like that, but since I work with developers and designers everyday (dealing with startup stuff), I do have many connections.

So I do headhunting for both sides. I get paid a commission from the company for finding them great talent(I use already established connections of mine so I already know if they are a good fit for the job or not), and the person that gets hired pays me a commission for finding them a job.

It's typically 20% of their monthly salary for 6 months from both sides.

Good deal for a person to make some extra cash on the side of whatever they do already, and they have time to do so.
