A better way to collaborate on recruiting deals

Purpose-built for recruiters who need stronger roles, better candidate reach and cleaner split-fee workflows.

Share roles privately

Post open roles to vetted recruiters only. Control what is visible, who can submit and how the fee is split.

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.

Join as a verified recruiter

Apply with your recruiting background, niche and agency details.

Post roles or candidates

Share what you have: qualified candidates, exclusive jobs or hard-to-fill requirements.

Agree the split

Confirm fee terms, ownership and submission rules before introductions happen.

Place and get paid

Track progress, record updates and split the success fee once the hire is completed.

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

Key details for recruiters and agencies considering the network.

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.
