Pellegrino v. Robert Half International, Inc.

I have been task with ensuring our current pay practices are in-line with the current FLSA regulations. My organization has notice that there have been some talks lately in regards to how employers pay Recruiters (salary v hourly). In a recent court decision in the case of: Pellegrino v. Robert Half International, Inc. it was said that these employees where indeed wrongfully classified as exempt and should have been classified as nonexempt hourly. I understand that this took place in CA and CA law is a complex employment law within itself.

MY question is: We are a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) organization where we partner with our clients to manager their Talent Acquisition process. During this process we often have 3 team members align to a client account.

1. Sourcer – Currently paid hourly (nonexempt) these individuals are new graduates with no prior recruiting/HR experience. They will partner with a Sourcing Specialist to learn the ropes of recruiting. They will ultimately be responsible for x amount of requisitions where they will perform the phone screen, document there conversation within the ATS and forward resumes to the onsite recruiter who will then have a second phone interview and then provide a short list of candidates to the hiring manager.
2. Sourcing Specialist – Currently paid salary (exempt) these individuals are responsible for being a mentor the Sourcer’s that they are aligned with. In addition, they have 4+ years of recruiting experience and performs the same functions as the Sourcers.
3. On-Site Recruiter – Currently paid salary (exempt) these individuals are responsible for engaging with hiring managers, clients, building relationship, establishing new business within the client, conducting second phone screens and providing a short list to the hiring manager. In addition, they provide requisition assignment to the Sourcer and Sourcing Specialist.

Based upon the matrix of our Talent Acquisition process and based upon the court ruling above, would you say that we are ok as in regards to our current pay practices?
