This deal on the rail
$1,400.00all-in, escrow included
$700.00 from each side at the default 50/50, and the deal room can assign it any way you agree. Invoiced only when the client's money lands in escrow.
Put another way: this deal costs you $700.00 to run on the rail. One split that goes wrong costs you your whole $14,000.00 share, plus the months spent chasing it.
No fee on failure. If the client never pays, you never pay us: the fee is invoiced at escrow funding, by wire or ACH. Posting the role, receiving applications and sending split requests cost nothing.
Deal costs
You see all of them inside the deal room before you sign anything.
One flat fee
$1,000 on a $20,000 placement fee, $2,000 on a $40,000 one, on every plan. Escrow included, invoiced the moment the client's money lands in escrow. One number, no stacked schedule.
No fee on failure
We collect when the client funds escrow, not before. No client payment, no fee. A busted deal costs you nothing here.
Split it however you agree
The fee defaults to 50/50 between the desks, but the deal room can assign it any way you like. Covering all of it is a cheap way to get a reluctant partner onto the rail.
Holding the money
Included in the fee. The licensed provider's charge is on us, and escrow funding is by wire or ACH, never a card.
Who funds escrow, and when
The client does, direct. The job-side desk invoices them with the escrow account as the remittance address, on the trigger and net terms you both agreed. Neither recruiter ever holds the fee.
Settling a dispute
A fixed case fee, stated in your deal terms upfront and paid by the side the arbitrator's decision goes against. Free if you sort it out yourselves.
Common questions
Do I pay to list a candidate?
No. Candidates, permissions, listings and roles are unlimited on every plan.
What if the hire quits or is let go early?
The refund rules you both wrote into the agreement apply automatically, and our fee is credited back on any part of the fee that comes back.
What does a deal actually cost me?
On a $40,000 fee it is $2,000, all-in, and the escrow charge is inside that. One split that goes wrong on a $20,000 share costs you ten times more, and takes months.
What if the deal falls apart?
You pay nothing. We invoice at escrow funding, so no client payment means no fee, and our fee is credited back on any part of the fee the guarantee refunds.
Who actually pays the escrow account?
The hiring client. The job-side recruiter puts the escrow account on the invoice as the remittance address, so the fee never passes through either desk's bank.
Do I pay for my records?
No. Downloads and the public check page are free for everyone, on every plan.
Can I invite a split partner who isn't on PlaceRail?
Yes. They create a free account to sign, and the deal carries on as normal.
Create an account, send one signing link to a candidate, and see how it all works before you pay anything.
