Understanding the Guarantee Period
How the guarantee period protects companies and affects recruiter payouts.
How Guarantees Work
The guarantee period is a window of time (typically 90 days) after a candidate starts their new role. During this period, if the candidate leaves the company — whether they resign or are let go — the bounty is refunded to the company.
This protects companies from paying for hires that don't work out, while also incentivizing recruiters to submit candidates who are genuinely the right fit for the role.
Tracking Guarantee Status
Both companies and recruiters can track guarantee periods from their dashboards. Placement cards show the guarantee start date, end date, and current status:
- Pending Start — Candidate hasn't started yet.
- In Guarantee — Candidate is actively working during the guarantee window.
- Guarantee Passed — The guarantee period has ended successfully. Payout will be processed.
- Terminated in Guarantee — Candidate left during the guarantee period. Bounty refunded.
