A better way to collaborate on recruiting deals
Purpose-built for recruiters who need stronger roles, better candidate reach and cleaner split-fee workflows.
Protect ownership
Timestamp submissions, keep candidate ownership clear and reduce disputes before a placement moves forward.
Match faster
Connect roles and candidates across a focused recruiter network instead of relying on one database or one agency.
How CloakHire works
A simple process for recruiters who want to collaborate without losing control of their client or candidate relationships.

For recruiters with roles and recruiters with candidates
Most recruiting networks are noisy. CloakHire is designed around practical deal flow: active jobs, available candidates and transparent split-fee agreements.
- Client-side recruiters can expand sourcing reach without hiring a full delivery team.
- Candidate-side recruiters can access live requirements instead of waiting for inbound demand.
- Boutique agencies can partner on roles outside their current niche or geography.

Frequently asked questions
Who is CloakHire for?
Independent recruiters, boutique recruitment agencies and specialist search consultants who want to collaborate on live roles and candidates.
Is this a job board?
No. The core idea is recruiter-to-recruiter collaboration, where one side may hold the role and another side may provide the right candidate.
How are fees split?
The default structure can be 50/50, but each deal should define the split, payment timing and ownership terms before candidate submission.
Can agencies use it?
Yes. Agencies can use CloakHire to expand sourcing reach, fill roles outside their core database or monetise strong candidates faster.
