Are there any recruiters on here? Or people who know how the process generally works?
I’ve been at my firm for a few months and I just got an offer to lateral.
I used a recruiter for my current position and don’t want to completely screw him/her over when I jump ship. I thought about calling him to ask about the fee structure, but I’d just be concerned that word would get back to my firm (this recruiter has a very close relationship with my firm).
I’m assuming a lot of it will get clawed back, but I can hold off lateraling an extra month (delay my start date) if it means a commission or no commission for the recruiter.
I know it doesn’t matter at the end of the day since I should think about myself and all of that, but would like to not completely screw someone over.

Re: Recruiter Fee Refund
Recruiter fee contracts vary from firm to firm, but generally at BigLaw firms, there is a 6 month guarantee, meaning that if you leave the firm before you've been there 6 months, the recruiter will pay back 1/6 of the fee for each of those months you weren't there.
