PLACEMENTS
What a Placement Means on Employment Networks
A placement is a verified hire event created when a company records the hire and start date in the system. That single event triggers billing, holdback rules, and payouts with a clean audit trail.
01 -- THE DEFINITION
A placement is the platform’s source of truth
On Employment Networks, a placement is a system event that represents a real hire. It is created when the company records a hire decision and a start date in the platform.
That single verified event turns recruiting work into an enforceable outcome. It anchors billing, retention rules, and payouts so everyone is working from the same record, not hearsay.
What a placement is not: a text message, a spreadsheet note, or a verbal promise. If it is not recorded and verified in the platform, it is not a placement.
02 -- THE RECORD
The placement record is the receipt
Every placement ties back to the submission that led to the hire and the contributors attached to that work.
This is what creates clarity: who participated, what was done, what the company approved, and what the payout rules are for that specific hire.
Linked to the submission
The placement connects to the exact submission that was reviewed and hired.
Roles and contributors are explicit
Credit is tied to role participation inside the platform, not side agreements.
Billing and payout are derived from the record
Invoice, holdback, and payout release are computed from the placement data and rules.
Audit log backs it up
Key actions are logged so disputes can be resolved using evidence, not opinions.
Built to turn motion into starts
Most systems track activity. Employment Networks is designed to convert real work into verified hires with clear rules.
One shared workflow
Submissions, stages, decisions, and approvals live in one place so nothing gets lost in email or DMs.
Quality-first submissions
AI scoring and structured evidence reduce noise so companies can review faster and decide with confidence.
Specialists on demand
Assign company-side and candidate-side work to the right contributors so hiring keeps moving.
Privacy by design
Companies can review redacted submissions first, then unlock identity when they are ready to proceed.
Auditable actions
Key events are logged so accountability is clear when questions come up.
Predictable payout rules
Payment, holdback, and payout release follow the platform rules automatically so the finish line is clear.
From submission to verified placement
This is the simplest way to understand how the platform produces placements.
Candidate is connected and represented
The candidate is connected through Applicant Network and representation is recorded before submissions.
Submission is created
A submission becomes the canonical record of the candidate being presented for a specific role.
Evidence and match scoring are attached
The submission includes AI scoring and structured evidence so companies can review quickly.
Company reviews and moves stages
Stage changes and key actions are tracked inside the workflow so progress is visible.
Hire decision is recorded
The company confirms the hire inside the system.
Start date is recorded
Recording the start date creates the verified placement event.
Invoice and payment process begins
The platform issues the invoice and tracks payment status through funds cleared.
Holdback and payout release run automatically
If a retention window applies, funds are held. Payouts release only when the rules are satisfied.
Payouts are distributed to contributors
Once released, payouts are computed from the placement record and role participation.
