I would start by finding out what typical recruiting agents in your
area ask, and think of it more as a recruiter role than as a "finders
fee". Recruiters in my are frequently demand 20% or 25% of the
employee's first year salary.
If these are employees you've trained in general *and* trained on the
client's project for more than half a year, you have performed far
more than any recruiter ever will. The client would be getting a
fully pre-trained employee ready to work at full capacity on the first
day! This should be worth for more to them than they would pay a
recruiter.

I have a client who wants to hire out my employees from under me. My contract doesn't allow for this unless I release the client and employee from noncompetes.I've thought about it, and might be willing, if there is a finders fee. Have any of you dealt with this? What would a typical finder's fee be for letting a client create a direct relationship with an employee I've trained and mentored and had working on the project for over 8 months?Thanks!

Our contract stipulates a fee of 30% of annual salary and requires our approval. Never actually done it though. Regarding why you'd let your employee go, I can only imagine that you don't have your sales pipeline filled enough to keep him working?
