Getting started
What is RecXchange?
RecXchange is a split-fee recruitment marketplace where 15,000+ verified recruiters partner on placements. One recruiter brings the role, another brings the candidate, and the placement fee is shared under an automated agreement. The platform lives at app.recxchange.io.
Who can join?
Working recruiters - independent, freelance, or agency-based. Every member is verified before they can transact, which is what keeps the network high quality.
How much does it cost to join?
Membership starts at $1/month on the RecX Entry plan. Higher tiers - RecX Lite ($99/month) and RecX Pro ($249/month) - unlock more monthly tokens and RecX Direct access.
Splits and payments
How are fees split?
Collaborative Xchange roles typically split 50/50 between the role owner and the candidate owner. RecX Direct roles come straight from employers and pay up to 70% to the recruiter who delivers the candidate.
How much do recruiters actually earn?
The average recruiter cut on RecXchange is $7,000 per placement - that figure is the recruiter’s share after the split, not the total fee divided.
What are tokens?
Tokens are the platform currency for actions like submitting candidates to roles. Plans include a monthly allowance: 5 on Entry ($1/mo), 150 on Lite ($99/mo), 400 on Pro ($249/mo).
Does RecXchange take a cut of my placement fee?
No. Your subscription is the cost of access; the placement fee is split between you and your partner recruiter on the agreed terms.
Deal protection
What stops another recruiter stealing my candidate?
Every submission is timestamped, and a split-fee agreement is generated and accepted before candidate details are exchanged. Ownership is provable by the record, not by memory.
What happens if there is a dispute?
Because terms are locked before any exchange and every event is timestamped, most disputes are resolved simply by reading the record. That design is the core of the platform.
For employers
Can employers use RecXchange directly?
Yes. Employers post roles through RecX Direct and get a network of 15,000+ recruiters working the brief through a single point of contact, on contingency terms - payment only on a successful hire.
What does it cost an employer?
Nothing upfront. You agree a placement fee for the role and pay only when a candidate sourced through the network starts.
