Before applying, most agencies want the money story in one place: what you earn, when you get it, and what protects the client. Here is the summary, with links to the detailed articles.
What you earn:
Permanent placements: A placement fee when your candidate is hired. Community placements pay fixed, country-specific rates you can see before submitting, and preferred relationships use your negotiated per-client terms.
Staff augmentation: Earnings on contract placements based on approved weekly hours, plus conversion fees when a contract worker goes permanent.
What protects the deal:
Guarantee periods: Each permanent placement carries a 60-day guarantee period. If the hire fails within that window, the employer owes no fee, and the agency receives no payment.
Candidate ownership: You own the candidates you submit to a client for 180 days. A built-in ownership check settles which agency represents a candidate, so your submissions are protected.
How you get paid:
No invoicing: You never invoice the client or RecruitiFi. Payouts are generated automatically.
Timing: Payouts release after both the guarantee period and RecruitiFi's collection from the client. See When you get paid: guarantee plus collection.
Setup: You connect a bank account and complete a tax form once; international agencies are paid without invoicing in supported currencies.
