How IronBase works for recruiters and employers, how people get paid, and what protects every placement.
IronBase is a recruiting marketplace. Independent and agency recruiters work direct employer jobs and split fee jobs posted by other recruiters, use AI tools to find and grade candidates, and get paid when they make a placement. Employers post roles free and pay only when they hire.
Yes. Membership, posting jobs, submitting candidates and messaging are free, forever. Candidate Tools (Find candidates, Sniper, Candidate Search and Candidate Match) are free while in beta, and members will hear from us well before anything changes.
The job poster owns the client relationship and invoices the client. IronBase collects your share from the poster and pays it to you. Timing follows the client's payment terms, and most are net 30.
On direct employer jobs, the submitting recruiter keeps 80% of the placement fee. The fee and the employer's guarantee period are shown on the job card.
Split fee jobs are posted by other recruiters. The poster sets the fee and the split, and both are on the job card before you submit. The fee calculator shows your exact take.
Your candidate is yours for 12 months from the submission date. If the client hires your candidate off platform during that time, your split is still owed and IronBase enforces it.
Yes. Recruiters can post their own split fee jobs to the network and set their own split. Every job is reviewed and approved by our team before it goes live.
No. Any verified recruiter can work any open job. The best candidate wins, and the first to fill gets the placement.
Candidate Search, Sniper and Candidate Match reach real candidate data, so we verify who is using them. Join a live walkthrough with our team and they unlock. Find candidates on the job card is open to every member.
No. The AI finds candidates and grades them against the job, 0 to 100, with a short analysis. Recruiters run the phone screen, make the call and decide who to submit.
Roles across many industries, including engineering, architecture, construction, accounting and tax, manufacturing, HVAC and mechanical trades, surveying and technology. New jobs are added every week.
Tell us about the role on a short walkthrough. Our team posts it on IronBase, and a network of vetted independent recruiters works it at the same time. Candidates arrive graded against your requirements, and you review them in your dashboard.
There is no posting fee and no retainer. You set the placement fee, flat or a percentage of first year salary, and owe it only when a candidate is hired.
You do. Set the guarantee period and payment terms that work for your company. They go on the job card so every recruiter knows the deal up front.
No. Our team posts and manages your role with you, and you have one IronBase contact from first call to hire. You can sign in to review candidates, request interviews and decline with a reason.
Recruiters are verified on a live walkthrough with our team before they get access to candidate data, and every job is approved by our team before it goes live.
