Alright--here's the straight talk, boardroom version with boots-on-the-ground logic.
My recommendation (best ROI, least drama):
Keep it commission-only up front, then unlock a modest base AFTER performance is proven.
That protects you, motivates killers, and still gives grown-ups some stability once they've earned it.
Below is an Indeed-ready version that does exactly that--clean, fair, and attractive to real closers.
