Why Should Recruiters Leave the Mother Ship?

We asked a number of executive recruiter's who've left larger firms for small firms, or started their own firms: why leave?

We received a number of responses which were covered in our September newsletter. Overwhelmingly, recruiters felt the payouts at large firms were less than they expected. Many were disappointed with the large portion of their credited revenue being re-invested into the firm's infrastructure. Many suspected the 'inner circle" at the large firms were taking a cut too. If you left a larger firm, we'd like to know why you left and how you've changed being at a new firm, or out on your own.
