Recruiter collaboration made simple. Post anonymised candidates or vacancies, let our algorithm find matches, and place together, with automated invoicing and payments.
Split fee recruitment works by letting two agencies team up on one placement: one brings the candidate, the other brings the vacancy, and they share the fee when the hire completes. On Split Fee, that whole process runs for you, from the first anonymised match through to the final payment. Here is what it looks like, step by step.
List what you have or what you need, without revealing candidate or client identities. Your data stays protected until both sides agree to connect.
Our algorithm analyses skills, geographic location, salary expectations, and seniority to surface the strongest matches across all recruiters on the platform.
Both sides must agree before any details are revealed. Once a match is accepted, you can view full candidate and vacancy information and start collaborating.
When the candidate is placed, each recruiter receives 45% of the fee with Split Fee taking 10%. The platform handles invoicing and payment collection automatically.
Say a London agency has a strong finance candidate they can't place, and a Manchester agency has a vacancy that fits. Neither could bill the role alone. Working the split together, they share a £18,000 permanent placement fee like this:
Candidate-side agency
£8,100
45%
Vacancy-side agency
£8,100
45%
Split Fee platform fee
£1,800
10%
Both agencies bill £8,100 from a candidate and a vacancy that were each earning nothing. The platform fee only applies once the placement completes, and the invoicing and payment split are handled for you.

Request accessA split fee arrangement is when two recruiters collaborate on a placement. One provides the candidate and the other provides the vacancy. When the candidate is placed, the recruitment fee is split between them. Split Fee automates this process, handling matching, agreements, invoicing, and payments so you can focus on recruiting.
Recruiters post anonymised candidates or vacancies to the platform. Our matching algorithm identifies opportunities based on skills, location, salary, and seniority. When both sides agree to a match, candidate and vacancy details are revealed. After a successful placement, Split Fee handles the fee split and invoicing automatically.
All candidate data is anonymised until both sides mutually agree to share details. We use bank-level encryption, strict access controls, and are fully GDPR compliant. Your candidates and clients remain protected at every stage.
Split Fee takes a 10% platform fee from the total recruitment fee. Each recruiter receives 45% of the fee. All fees are agreed up front before you start working together. No hidden costs or surprises. The platform handles invoicing and payment collection automatically.
Our algorithm analyses multiple dimensions including skills, job titles, geographic location, salary expectations, and seniority level. It scores every candidate against every vacancy across all recruiters on the platform, surfacing the strongest matches first. Matches from the same company are automatically excluded.
