When a hire is made with a salary in a non-USD currency, RecruitiFi determines the conversion rate at the time of payment using the following process:

  1. Conversion at the Time of Hire:

    • When an employer logs a hire in the RecruitiFi system, the salary is recorded in the employer’s local currency.

    • At that exact moment, RecruitiFi applies the Google Finance exchange rate to convert the salary into USD.

    • This converted salary is used to calculate the placement fee and your estimated payout in USD.

  2. Locked-in Rate:

    • The conversion rate is locked at the time the hire is logged.

    • This ensures clarity and consistency in payouts, even if exchange rates fluctuate afterward.

  3. Checking Your Placement Fee:

    • You can review the exact placement fee calculation by clicking "Hire Details" from your Earnings page.

  4. If You Are Paid in a Non-USD Currency:

    • Your final payout is converted to your preferred currency at the time of payment, using the exchange rate set by the bank processing the transfer.

This ensures a transparent, standardized process while accounting for global currency fluctuations.
