The platform operates on a share-of-fee model, where RecruitHub invoices founders monthly based on a percentage of the fee income they earn from clients. The percentage declines as founder billings scale up.

The partnership model fully aligns incentives, with RecruitHub and founders both rewarded for the successful growth of founder businesses.

Where required, RecruitHub coordinates seed and growth capital through a network of angel investors, giving founders access to funding to start their ventures or accelerate growth.

Founders can opt to launch with an initial salary whilst also remaining the majority shareholders in their firms.

Yes. Many RecruitHub founders have covered their initial personal outgoings from savings.

• Yes, about ~30% of businesses launched on RecruitHub are co-founded.

Once completed, most founders launch within ~30 days on the platform.
