> Something about taking a cut of someone's salary doesn't feel right to me.
Ummm, that's how the whole tech industry works. Ever work for a recruiter? They're taking a cut of your salary.

A company making a $100k/year hire might have $1M ARR. To them, the $15k commission is 1.5% of their annual budget. If the employee pays, it's 15% of their annual income. If recruiters charged 15% of a company's annual income no one would pay it, or it would bring a company to its knees.
