PLATFORM PRINCIPLE
Transparency That Prevents Disputes
Recruiting gets messy when rules are vague, money is unclear, and history lives in someone’s inbox. Splits Network is built so activity is visible, outcomes are auditable, and payouts follow predefined rules.
01 -- DEFINITION
What “Transparency” Means Here
Transparency on Splits Network means everyone can see what stage a deal is in, what actions happened (and when), how payouts are calculated, and why a decision occurred based on system rules.
The goal is simple: fewer surprises, fewer disputes, and better execution.
Clarity at Every Step of a Hiring Deal
Splits Network is designed so you can answer the questions that usually cause friction, without chasing screenshots or threads.
Stage Visibility
Know what stage the deal is in and what it is waiting on, without guesswork.
Role-Based Credit
Real roles are attached to real people on each placement, so contribution is structured instead of assumed.
Deterministic Payouts
Payouts follow predefined slices tied to roles, and unassigned slices remain with the platform.
Release Timing You Can Track
Release is based on objective conditions, including cleared funds and any holdback window.
Audit Trail
Every placement has an event history, so “what happened” is answered by the system.
Explainable AI Support
AI can support decisions with clear labeling, supporting signals, and verification loops.
02 -- AUDITABILITY
A Placement Audit Trail You Can Actually Trust
Every placement has a recorded history of what happened across the lifecycle, from role creation and fee settings to candidate submissions, approvals, invoice status, escrow holding, and payout distribution.
If something changes, there is a record of it. If someone asks “what happened,” the system answers with timestamps and state changes.
Deal configuration history
Role creation, fee settings, guarantee period, and payment terms are recorded as part of the lifecycle.
Who did what, and when
Joins, submissions, stage changes, approvals, and key actions are logged as events.
Billing and escrow visibility
Invoice issued, payment received, payment cleared, funds held, and payout released are tracked as states.
03 -- PAYOUT CLARITY
Clear Rules for Payouts and Release Timing
Money disagreements happen when payout logic is unclear or timing is vague. Splits Network uses defined role slices and objective release conditions.
Payouts are released only after client funds clear and any holdback window ends. You can see the expected payout and what conditions still need to be met before it releases.
04 -- ROLE CREDIT
Full Visibility Into Deal Roles and Credit
Splits Network makes contribution visible by attaching real roles to real people on each placement. If you hold a role on the placement, your share is known.
If multiple people contributed, credit is not negotiated in private. It is structured and auditable.
Candidate Recruiter
Represents the candidate and manages the submission lifecycle.
Candidate Sourcer
Residual credit for bringing the candidate into the network through a validated first invite.
Company Sourcer
Residual credit for inviting the company to the platform.
Job Poster / Job Owner
Company-side ownership and role setup, optionally hired through the marketplace.
Hiring Facilitator
Keeps the workflow moving by coordinating stages, scheduling, and pipeline operations.
Less back-and-forth. More execution.
05 -- WORKFLOW VISIBILITY
Transparent Status for Companies and Recruiters
Both sides can track what is happening without constant follow-ups. Companies get visibility into active roles, candidate progression, bottlenecks, and submission quality signals over time.
Recruiters get visibility into candidate status, whether a deal is waiting on company action, expected payout timing and release status, and performance signals tied to responsiveness and outcomes.
06 -- COMING SOON
Privacy Gating for Candidate Details
Coming soon: Splits Network will use privacy gating so companies cannot view candidate identity details until they intentionally approve and commit.
What stays transparent is the process: what is gated, when it unlocks, what action triggers it, and what commitment is created by approval.
Protected candidate ownership
Identity details stay gated until the company takes a deliberate approval action.
Clear unlock conditions
The system shows what is gated, what unlocks it, and what it means for the deal.
Approval creates commitment
When identity visibility unlocks, it is tied to an intentional approval step, not casual browsing.
07 -- AI WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
AI That Supports Decisions, Not Mystery Boxes
When AI is involved, it should be explainable and accountable. Splits Network is built to provide match scoring with supporting signals, clear labeling when something is AI-inferred, and recruiter verification loops to confirm key claims.
The point is not to replace professionals. It is to reduce noise, surface stronger matches faster, and keep the logic visible.
Designed to Prevent Disputes Before They Start
When rules are visible and history is recorded, the common arguments disappear.
Every action becomes a logged event
Submissions, stage changes, approvals, and billing states are recorded so the system can answer “what happened.”
Credit is structured by role
Roles are assigned on the placement, so “who did the work” is not a private negotiation.
Payout math is deterministic
Payouts follow defined slices and tier rules, with unassigned slices retained by the platform.
Release timing is objective
Payouts release only after cleared funds and any holdback window ends, based on system conditions.
