Placement receivables collected

Recruiting billing software

Recruiting billing software for fees that are large and slow to arrive. Placement invoices carry net 30 terms and reminders, retained searches are billed in installments with their own due dates, and aging shows which client companies are holding your fees.

Placement fees on terms

A placement invoice goes out on the start date with net 30 or whatever your agreement says. The hiring manager and accounts payable both receive it.

Invoicing

Retained search installments

The first third is collected when the search agreement is signed. The second and final installments are invoiced at the shortlist and the offer, each tracked to payment.

Estimates and e-signatures

Large fees by bank

On a $30,000 placement, Stripe's ACH fee is $5 while a card would cost about $870, so turn on bank transfers for every client company.

Payments

Follow-up without friction

Unpaid placement invoices are followed up without you once they pass the due date, which protects the relationship with the hiring manager you want to work with again.

Automatic emails

Fees held by clients
