The home for the independent recruiter.
Run your own search practice without building a back office. Open job orders, standard contracts, and a network of 14,000+ peers — all on the BountyJobs platform.
Be your own boss. Without being your own back office.
If you're a solo recruiter, a boutique founder, or a desk thinking about going independent — BountyJobs gives you the supply of job orders, the legal protections, and the operating platform that used to require a big-firm shop. Spend your time on candidates and clients, not chasing invoices and rewriting contracts.
What you get
Real, paid job orders
Thousands of permanent and contract searches from employers ready to pay agency fees — across every function and every U.S. industry.
Zero contract negotiation
Every employer on the platform has already signed the BountyJobs umbrella agreement. You start submitting candidates the day you join — no MSA cycle.
CoSource with peers
Have a candidate without a job, or a job without candidates? Split-fee arrangements with the BountyJobs network turn relationships into placements.
Build a performance reputation
Submittal-to-fill rates, response time, and candidate quality scores follow you across every engagement — and earn you more invitations from top employers.
Run your business from one platform
Pipeline management, messaging, candidate submissions, fee tracking, and AR — all in one workspace. No Trello, no Notion, no spreadsheet sprawl.
Real, paid job orders from companies you'd want as clients.
“I left a 200-person firm to go independent and was nervous about deal flow. Within my first month on BountyJobs I had three active searches with employers I never could have opened a door at on my own. The standard contract meant I started submitting candidates the day I was approved.
Alicia Romero Founder, Romero Executive Search
“CoSource has paid for itself ten times over. I had a perfect candidate sitting on my desk with no role to send her to — a peer in the network had the role and we split the fee. That placement would have been zero dollars without the platform.
Daniel Park Principal Recruiter, Park Talent Partners
