| Recruiter | Sourcer | |
|---|---|---|
| What you deliver | The full pipeline: source, screen, submit, manage candidates through to hire. | High-quality profiles without the screen. The hiring org self-screens what you hand them. |
| Fee the hiring org pays | 15% of first-year base salary | 10% of first-year base salary |
| Your share of that fee | 75% to 82% by performance tier | 50%, split 50/50 sourcer and Scope |

Some hiring orgs publish a role open to either. A recruiter or a sourcer can claim it, and whoever delivers the hire sets the fee: 15% if a recruiter, 10% if a sourcer.
Two-way sync with Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby. You see your submitted candidates progress through interviews in real time. No more going dark after submission.
Hiring orgs are reviewed before listings go live. Salary range, fee, and replacement terms are transparent up front, so you know what a role is worth before you claim it.
Use Scope's AI scoring and fake-profile detection to find better candidates faster, at no additional cost to you.
Invite recruiters in your network with your personal link. When their first placement is paid, $1,000 lands in your pending earnings. Uncapped. It comes out of Scope's platform fee, never out of the placed recruiter's share.
Every placement carries a 120-day replacement guarantee for the hiring org. If the candidate leaves voluntarily inside that window, the hiring org can request a free replacement from you. This is why the second installment of your fee is held until day 120.
It is worth reading how this works before you claim your first project. Full terms are in the recruiter agreement and the marketplace terms.
Sign up, fill out a profile (display name, bio, the verticals you specialize in, optional LinkedIn), pick your role type, and accept the recruiter agreement. Free.
A Scope team member reviews your application. Verification typically takes 1 to 2 business days.

Recruiter accounts are kept separate from hiring-org accounts. You can't be both on the same email, and you can't claim projects from organizations you're affiliated with.
Free to apply, nothing up front, and you keep 75% to 82% of every placement fee you earn.
