Recruiters.co
How it works

From verified onboarding to automated payout

Every placement on Recruiters.co moves through the same structured lifecycle — so collaboration between firms doesn't have to rely on trust alone.

The lifecycle

Six stages, from first listing to final payout

Each stage is recorded, consented, and reconciled — giving every participant a clear, verifiable record of where a placement stands.

Stage 1

Onboarding & verification

Recruiters and employers verify their organization before they can list job orders, request access, or submit candidates.

Stage 2

Job order listed

A job-side recruiter or employer publishes a job order with fee, split, and guarantee terms — at whatever visibility level they choose.

Stage 3

Collaboration begins

A candidate-side recruiter requests access, reviews terms, and agrees to a split agreement before anything else moves forward.

Stage 4

Candidate submitted

A candidate is submitted with recorded consent, checked against duplicate ownership claims, and shared with the job owner.

Stage 5

Placement confirmed

The employer confirms a hire. The placement is recorded against the job order, the split agreement, and the guarantee terms.

Stage 6

Payout distributed

The employer is invoiced, funds are collected, a guarantee reserve is withheld, and payouts are split to every participant automatically.

Onboarding & job listing

Verification comes before visibility

Recruiters and employers complete organization verification before their activity is visible on the network. Once verified, a job-side recruiter or employer lists a job order with its fee structure, split terms, guarantee period, and visibility level set explicitly from the start.

  • Organization verification gates marketplace participation
  • Job orders carry fee, split, and guarantee terms up front
  • Visibility ranges from open to confidential, owner's choice

  • Organization verified
  • Domain confirmed
  • Payment account connected
  • Agreements accepted

Collaboration & submission

Terms are signed before a candidate is shared

A candidate-side recruiter requests access to a job order, reviews and signs the split agreement, then submits a candidate with documented consent — checked against the network for ownership conflicts before it reaches the job owner.

  • Split agreement acceptance required before submission
  • Candidate consent is scoped, timestamped, and attached
  • Duplicate ownership checks run automatically at submission

Placement & payout

Confirmation triggers the financial workflow

Once the employer confirms a hire, the placement is recorded against the job order and its signed terms. Invoicing, fund collection, guarantee reserve withholding, and multi-party payouts follow automatically — reconciled on an immutable ledger.

  • Placement confirmation is tied to the original job order and terms
  • Reserve withheld to cover the guarantee period
  • Payouts distributed to every participant's connected account
