How it works
Split-fee recruitment, without the risk
RecXchange is a split-fee recruitment marketplace: one recruiter brings the role, another brings the candidate, and the placement fee is shared under an automated, timestamped agreement. No cold outreach, no handshake deals, no getting burned.
Join and get verified
Create an account from $1/month. Every member is verified as a working recruiter - that's what keeps the network worth joining.
Share roles or candidates
Post the brief you can't fill, or submit the candidate you can't place. Both sides of the exchange earn.
Agree the split upfront
The Xchange Engine finds your match, and a split-fee contract is generated and accepted before any details are exchanged.
Place and get paid
The employer pays the fee as normal; the platform ensures your agreed share reaches you. Average cut: $7,000.
The splits
Two ways to earn
Collaborative roles between recruiters, or exclusive employer roles through RecX Direct.
Xchange roles
Typical split: 50/50
Roles posted by other recruiters in the network. You bring the candidate, they bring the client relationship, and the fee is shared down the middle - terms fixed before you submit.
RecX Direct roles
Up to 70% in your favour
Exclusive roles sourced directly from employers. With no second recruiter on the client side, the majority of the fee goes to whoever delivers the candidate - you.
Every deal is protected before it starts
Timestamped submissions prove candidate ownership. Automated agreements lock the split before details are shared. Disputes aren't argued after the fact - they're prevented by design.
FAQ
Common questions
What is split-fee recruitment?
Split-fee recruitment is a partnership where two recruiters share one placement fee: one supplies the role (the job order), the other supplies the candidate. On RecXchange, splits are typically 50/50 on collaborative roles and up to 70/30 in your favour on RecX Direct roles.
Who pays the fee?
The employer pays the placement fee to the recruiter who owns the role, exactly as in normal contingency recruitment. The platform’s split-fee agreement then ensures the candidate-side recruiter receives their agreed share.
What are tokens?
Tokens are the platform currency used to unlock actions such as submitting candidates to roles. Each plan includes a monthly token allowance - from 5 tokens on RecX Entry to 400 on RecX Pro.
What stops a partner going around me?
Every submission is timestamped and covered by a signed split-fee agreement before candidate details are shared. Ownership is provable and enforceable, which is precisely why the network can operate at scale.
