01 -- SAVINGS
The comparison that matters
Traditional hiring makes you pay for the process, even if you do not fill the role. Splits Network eliminates fixed overhead so your cost is tied to outcomes.
Old way fixed overhead (before a single hire): $353,900 to $406,000+ per year (illustrative using your ranges).
Splits Network fixed overhead: $0 per year.
What changed: fixed cost drops to $0. Hiring becomes variable and based on successful starts.
No pay-to-play visibility
No required ad spend to be seen.
No hiring stack contracts
Core hiring tools are included.
On-demand help
Add specialists only when needed.

02 -- SAVINGS
The biggest differentiator
Splits Network is built to prioritize hiring outcomes over platform profit.
Depending on how a role is staffed and which marketplace contributors participate, the platform can distribute up to 100% of the placement fee to the people doing the work. You set the fee once. The network funds execution from that fee.
In simple terms: you can get real recruiting horsepower without adding internal headcount, without buying seats, and without paying for tools you are not sure will work.
Five ways the model lowers total cost
No seats
Invite your hiring team with no per-user fees.
No pay-to-play
Visibility is not locked behind sponsored ads.

AI triage
Faster filtering with consistent signals and evidence.

03 -- TOOLS
A real hiring operating system
This is not a job board add-on. It is an end-to-end hiring workspace that keeps every candidate, stage change, decision, and payout tied to a single auditable system.
You can run fully internal hiring or bring in marketplace professionals to support setup, pipeline operations, and specialized searches.
Workspace and collaboration
Roles, candidates, interviews, outcomes, and history in one place.
Structured role builder
Must-haves, salary range, timeline, and expectations set upfront.
Pipeline tracking
Clean stages with less spreadsheet and inbox drift.
Centralized messaging
Fewer lost threads and cleaner handoffs.
Audit trail
Who did what, when it happened, and why it was allowed.
TOOLS
What employers get at $0 upfront
ATS-like funnel: Keep candidate flow in one traceable system with clear stages (Company Review, Interview, Offer, Hired).
Direct applicant triage: Match scoring and quick summaries support faster review without replacing your judgment.
Submission standards: Structured signals reduce noise and make reviews faster across stakeholders.
Built-in coordination: Centralized scheduling and messaging reduce missed handoffs.
Recorded history: Key actions are logged for dispute prevention and clarity.
04 -- THE REST
Build your hiring team on demand
You are not locked into one vendor and you do not need to hire internal staff to get recruiting execution.
Bring in verified marketplace professionals, invite a recruiter you already trust, or run fully internal. Scale up for urgent roles and scale down anytime.
Browse specialists
Niche skills, industry focus, and senior searches.
Invite your recruiter
Bring trusted partners into the same workflow.

Runs pipeline operations, scheduling, and stage hygiene to keep momentum.
Specialist Recruiters
Deep networks for niche skills, geography, or seniority levels.
05 -- CONTROL
Marketplace help without losing authority
Splits Network enforces a strict double-lock structure.
Marketplace professionals can: set up roles, coordinate scheduling, and move candidates through allowed stages.
Only your company can: approve fee settings, extend formal offers, and mark hires.
Financial authority stays internal
Marketplace users cannot authorize payments or hiring decisions.
Permissioned access
Role-based access for HR, hiring managers, interviewers, and approvers.
Clear accountability
Every major action is tied to an actor and timestamp.
06 -- FINANCIAL MODEL
Pay only for results, with clear release rules
You set the role fee (percentage or fixed amount, depending on configuration). When you mark a hire, an invoice is created for that placement.
Payments are processed securely, and contributor payouts follow strict release rules tied to funds clearing and any holdback window you choose.
Important: payouts never occur before funds clear. No advances. No exceptions. The company pays a 3% processing fee, separate from the placement fee.
The outcome-based flow
Simple for employers. Deterministic for payouts. Auditable for everyone.
Set the fee and publish the role
Define salary range, requirements, and workflow expectations.
Run internal or add marketplace help
Activate Job Owner, Company Recruiter, or specialists only when needed.
Move candidates through stages
All key actions are logged in a single system of record.
Mark hire and generate invoice
Invoice is created when a hire is recorded with a start date.
Funds clear, then payouts release
Payouts release only after cleared funds and any holdback window are satisfied.
