Payment infrastructure recruiters can rely on

Delayed and disputed commission payments are among the most persistent frustrations in professional recruiting. Companies drag out invoices, scope-creep searches and renegotiate fees, or quietly fill roles internally after a recruiter has invested weeks in sourcing. TAL.co's payment infrastructure addresses all three failure modes.

Fee structures are agreed and locked before any recruiter activates a search. Placement events are tracked in the platform — not self-reported — so payment triggers are objective. Funds clear automatically within the platform's payment cycle, without the recruiter needing to issue an invoice or follow up.

Commission tracking features

Pre-agreed fee structures

Every mandate shows its fee structure — percentage, flat fee, or split — before engagement. Structures are locked at activation so there is no post-placement renegotiation.

Real-time earnings dashboard

See projected earnings by search, confirmed earnings by placement, and payment status in one panel. No spreadsheet reconciliation.

Automatic payment on confirmation

When a placement event is confirmed in the platform, payment processing initiates automatically. Standard clearing time is 5–7 business days.

Split commission support

For searches involving multiple recruiters or split-fee arrangements, the platform handles the division automatically based on pre-agreed split percentages.

Earnings and commission dashboard

Active search projections, confirmed placements, and payment status — all in one view.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What happens if a new hire leaves within the guarantee period?

Clawback and guarantee provisions are configured per mandate during the intake process. When a trigger event occurs, the platform surfaces it and initiates the agreed resolution process — whether that's a partial refund, a replacement search, or an escrow hold.

Can I see a history of all my placements and payments?

Yes. Your earnings history is fully accessible in Recruiter OS with filtering by date, client, role type, and search origin. Exportable for tax and accounting purposes.

Does TAL.co handle multi-currency payments for international placements?

Multi-currency support is available for recruiters operating across markets. Fee structures and payments can be denominated in USD, GBP, EUR, or CAD.
