1. If you use a recruiter to find talent and you pay the recruiter a referral fee equivelent to 20% of the models pay, wouldn't it be considered bad business if that recruiter also takes money from the talent as well?
2. If a recruiter flys in a model because he has other producers shooting the talent (4 or 5 shoots) do you think it's correct for that recruiter to charge you (the producer) and extra fee to cover his costs of flying in the talent?
Been battling with these issues for months, and I feel recruiters get what they get, period... How do most of you handle it?

Most talent scouts/agents in LA charge producers a flat referral fee, standard is $100 - whether the job is for $300 or $3000. Most agents also take a % from the talent, 10-20%. The porn industry's biggest and oldest agency World Modeling does not take any % from the talent. There's also another new agency that is not doing it in hopes of attracting more girls.
I don't see anything wrong with it - i'd rather they get rid of the $100 booking fee. Girls have the option of also booking their own jobs and most do.
