For splits with recruiters you have never worked with
The candidate says yes in writing. The split is signed before any names cross. The fee settles through escrow and splits automatically, on the schedule you both signed.
See the desk
Not a brochure. These are the real screens you'll work in: the deal room, your candidate list, and the signing links you send out.
The deal room
Masked chat, dual signing and the split breakdown in one room.
Your candidates
Every candidate, their credentials and their RTR status at a glance.
Rights to represent
Send a signing link, watch it land, see it signed, with reminders.
Built around the desk
The candidate, the provider and the hiring client each get a workspace for their side of the deal. The desk runs it.
Recruiters
Agree the split in a private room before any names cross. The fee is held safely until the placement sticks. Every step is saved as you go.
Billing & plans
Plans, invoices and escrow status, the money side of your desk, in one place.
Who else is on the rail
The candidate, the escrow provider and the hiring client each get their own private dashboard.
Escrow providers
Get your own workspace for every assigned hold. Fund, hold, release and invoice, both desks see your updates the moment you make them.

See who represents you and for which client, apply to open roles, and track the placement, all from one private dashboard you control.

A private view of your mandate: search status, the candidates your recruiter has chosen to present, and placement milestones. You never see the recruiter's fee, that stays between the desks.
Open your client workspaceOur story
The paperwork behind a split hasn't changed since the fax machine. When it goes wrong, the person with the least paper loses.
Two recruiters share one placement. The fee is big enough to argue about, and the agreement lives in a half-remembered email thread.
The candidate never signed anything specific. Names crossed before anyone committed. And the money went to whoever invoiced first.
So we built PlaceRail. The candidate signs a clear yes. Both recruiters sign before names appear. The fee pays out on the schedule you agreed. And if it goes wrong, a fair process decides, not a shouting match.
The paperwork is the product. Everything else is just recruiting.
Why it's different
How it works
Follow Dana and Marcus through a real split. Click each step to see what the candidate, the partner and the money do at that stage.
Dana, a candidate recruiter in Dallas, has a nurse executive open to moving. She sends a signing link. The candidate sees Dana's name, the client and the exact role, and that the permission lasts 60 days, then signs on their phone.
What the candidate sees
First signed, current permission wins. If another recruiter already has one, Dana finds out now, not at offer stage.
What we stand for
Nobody can be put forward without the candidate's written yes for that client and that role. They can see who has their permission and take it back any time.
You both learn the same things at the same time. Names appear for both of you at once, and if you disagree, a neutral third party decides.
Every step is written down and can't be edited later. Download the whole history as a PDF or spreadsheet, and anyone can check it hasn't been tampered with.
Guarantee periods, payment dates and response deadlines count down in one place that you and your partner both see.
Two-part protection
Most platforms imply escrow covers everything. It cannot, because escrow only holds money the client has actually paid.
Signed candidate permission, a signed split agreement and a record neither side can edit. Nothing is in escrow yet, because the client has not paid yet. What you have is proof.
The client pays the escrow account direct, so the fee never lands in your partner's bank. It splits on the dates you both signed, and freezes if either of you opens a dispute.
Non-negotiables
These aren't promises in a policy document. The software simply won't let it happen.
Rule 01
Nobody gets listed without the candidate's current, signed permission.
Rule 02
No names are shared until both recruiters have signed the split terms.
Rule 03
The client pays the escrow account, not either recruiter, so no one can be paid and then skip the split.
