I have ten years experience in the engineering industry. A recruiter help give me an opportunity to land a good job at a reputable company. I even recieved a sign on bonus. She keep calling me and asking how is everything every week. She said she even called my engineering department and talked to my supervisor. After being there only two weeks, she indicated that they are very satisfied with my work, but to me that is to be expected. What is her deal and how is she getting paid? Does she get paid the same time I get paid or what? If you know anything about the recruiting stage, please enlighten me.

professional recruiters get payed by the companies that hire the candidate they recommended... They bill your place of business. It's a win/win situation, whereby they find the best man for the job (you) and the company you now work for thanks them by paying their recruitment fee. The recruitment company does all the "leg work".. they check out all your references, etc. It saves the company you are working for now a consider amount of money. Their fee is well worth it.
Typically, in a contractual agreement, you will need to remain in their employ for a set amount of time. The company I worked for set the time at 90 days.

Many recruiters will get paid a portion of their fee upon your agreement to work for the company then again 3 or 6 months down the road.
Perhaps she wants to make sure you're happy so that she will receive her commission.
