Because being good at your job would put you out of work. :-)
If you place people into positions that they really fit with, odds are they would stay longer, ergo, less money for you.
What you would need to do is sell yourself as an agent that is constantly evaluating new gigs for a monthly fee. I think that might actually work really well for devs that consult as a primary business.
But a) when they are in a position to hire people they will call you/recommend you to their friends and b) when they do move, it will earn you a much larger commission than an entry level job.
It's speculative sure, but all long-term investments are.
In general, yes. Though I thought more about getting a low percentage of income for as long as the job lasts, instead of a big percentage of the first annual income after three months.
