@IRJ welcome to the non delusional part of adulthood. Idealism dies sometime in your 20s, as it should. By then you've seen how awful the world is, how terrible people are to each other, etc. Thumbs and feelings have doomed us all.

Staffing Agencies really seem to benefit. Most of the ones I have dealt with have very little technical knowledge and their internal employees have high turnaround. It seems like they are just in a race to bid against other staffing companies for positions. Once you staff a position, you sit on reoccurring income for doing literally nothing.
Yes, that is all that they do. that's why they earn only like 2%.

Why would it need to be more? They get regular fees for simply being a payroll processor. The rest of the process is handled by the company itself.

It varies by contract, I know ones I've worked for were 2%.

Fees? No, it's 2%.

My experience with staffing companies is that they get more than 2%. Most of the time I have worked with them I have been able to negotiate a higher salary. I know they have to have more wiggle room than 2% to allow negotiation on salaries.

Why? They simply pass the cost along to the company you really work for. I'd guess that the employing company and the staffing company have some sort of agreement of salary range for the position. Though if you think about it, assuming a straight percentage is how they are paid, it would be in the best interest of the staffing company to get all staff placed at the maximum rate the position allows.

When i worked for a large on, I know that the customer set the rate flat at 2%. They had no wiggle at all.

Not if the customer sets the price. All depends on the contract.
