They rely on commission to get a decent wage. Some jobs probably aren't real, they're fishing exercises so they have plenty of the right prospects when a job comes their way. Another common trick is to advertise for a job they've noticed being advertised by a regular company. They then approach the company & offer to head hunt for the company. This happened to the company I work for. You see almost word for word job descriptions on the website. Having said that they do also find work for people.
