Settlement you can verify. Recruiting you can trust.

How it works
Employers commit money

A funded retainer before any search starts. The full fee in escrow before anyone starts work.

Recruiters commit capacity

A hard cap on concurrent desks, an SLA clock, and a tier earned on a rolling 12-month record.

Candidates commit consent

No submission without their click. Every consent hashed and timestamped on Stellar.

How it works

Four commitments, one contract

Every step leaves a receipt. The escrow contract enforces the schedule so nobody chases an invoice.

  1. 01
    Employer funds a retainer

    $5,000 into a Soroban escrow contract per req. Refundable if there's no hire. Credited toward the fee if there is.

  2. 02
    Recruiters commit capacity

    At most two vetted recruiters per req, each under a hard cap of concurrent desks. Both sides run on an SLA clock.

  3. 03
    Candidates commit consent

    Recruiters never submit directly. The candidate gets an email; their click is the submission, hashed and timestamped on-chain.

  4. 04
    The fee settles itself

    At offer acceptance the full fee funds escrow. $5,000 at day 14, then 50% vested at day 30, 75% at day 60, 100% at day 90.

Fees

Priced in brackets, computed live

Each slice of comp is charged at its own rate, the way tax brackets work, so crossing a band never jumps the fee. $5,000 minimum. The retainer is credited in full, so no surprises at offer.

Recruiter tiers

Splits ride a rolling 12-month record

The more a recruiter fills, the more of the fee they keep and the more desks they can run. It resets on the trailing window, so it stays earned.
