How it works

Post a role. Meet candidates. Pay when it sticks.

Three movements and one fee, released only after your hire works the first 60 days. Here is the whole model, with nothing buried in the middle.

How it works

Three steps. No mystery in the middle.

  1. Post a role

    Tell us the job, the salary, and the start date. Live in minutes.

  2. Match with vetted candidates

    We screen and verify every applicant. You chat with shortlisted candidates in-app.

  3. Pay when they stay (60 days)

    Your fee is held in escrow and released only after the placement lasts 60 days.

The 60-day retention check

One fee, on a clock you can see.

The fee sits in escrow for the full retention window. Here is every moment between the first day and the day it releases.

  1. Day 0

    Your hire starts, the fee goes into escrow

    The placement fee moves into escrow through Paystack the day work begins. We hold it. Nobody has been paid yet, and that is the point.

  2. Day 0 to 30

    The first month

    If the placement ends here, you get the fee back, less a flat ₦2,000 admin fee. The scout share and buffer have not been touched.

  3. Day 30 to 60

    Settling in

    Past a month, the hire has put in real work. If it ends now the fee splits evenly: half back to you, half toward the work that placed them.

  4. Day 60

    The placement holds, the fee releases

    The retention check passes. The fee releases on the 50/30/20 split, and the scout who made the introduction finally gets paid.

What the fee covers

One charge, itemised.

The placement fee is half the first month's salary. Here is the work it pays for.

A real placement, start to finish

A cook at ₦80,000 a month.

Watch the money the whole way through. No step is hidden, no number changes.

  1. You post the role at ₦80,000 a month and pick your hire.Fee = salary ÷ 2 = ₦40,000
  2. The ₦40,000 fee goes into escrow and waits out the 60 days.Held, not paid
  3. Day 60: the placement held. The fee releases on the split.₦20,000 platform · ₦12,000 scout · ₦8,000 buffer

If it had ended in the first 30 days, you would have had ₦38,000 back. Between day 30 and 60, half: ₦20,000. The full refund schedule lays out every window.
