CVBounty hire-only revenue, dual bounty.

Hiring breaks when incentives drift.

Status: In build · Area served: South Africa

What it is

Three sides of a hire, lined up against a single confirmation.

Recruiters post bounties for open roles. Referrers — anyone in a tech operator's network — earn for placements. Candidates earn sign-on bonuses on hire. The platform charges nothing upfront and 15% only on a confirmed hire.

Most recruitment software bills before it has earned the bill. CVBounty inverts that: the only money that moves is on the back of a real placement.

15% Success fee · paid only on a confirmed hire · nothing otherwise

Who it's for

Three earning paths, one event.

Recruiters & hiring teams — post a bounty, only pay on a hire that sticks.
Referrers — earn for a placement they introduced. The referral graph becomes liquid.
Candidates — earn a sign-on bonus on hire. Their time and CV stop being free inputs to other people's pipelines.

How it works

Post → match → escrow → split.

A recruiter posts a bounty. Funds enter Paystack escrow; nothing pays out until a hire is confirmed.
Candidates and referrers authenticate by OTP: SMS via Africa's Talking for phones, email via AWS SES for the inbox path.
Claude Haiku parses CVs into structured candidate profiles so the matching surface isn't reading PDFs by hand.
On confirmed hire, Paystack splits the payout across the candidate, the referrer, and the platform's 15% fee.

Why this shape

Built for the recruitment economy that actually exists in South Africa.

South African tech recruitment runs on networks, WhatsApp threads, and warm introductions. The traditional fee model — recruiters in the middle, candidates as inventory — leaves the network's actual contributors uncompensated and the candidate exposed.

Putting money on the outcome, not the search, aligns every party with the only event that matters: a hire that takes.
