Who is a good intro

A team with its own engineers and one of these three problems.

Hiring outside their stack

They need a Go, ML or mobile engineer and nobody in-house can tell a strong one from a rehearsed one.

Several roles at once

Too many interviews to run without pulling their best engineers off the work they were hired to ship.

Hiring that never stops

A permanent interview loop that keeps eating into the roadmap, month after month.

Questions

What partners ask first.

Will you end up taking my client?+

We can't. Sourcing, placement and recruiting are not in our service list, so there is nothing for us to compete with you on. Any new work with a client you introduced is discussed through you, not around you.

Do I have to sell anything?+

No. One intro. We run the conversation, the interview plan, the interviews and the invoicing. Join the first call if you want to.

When does an intro count as mine?+

When we confirm in writing that the company is new to us. If they are already talking to us, or another partner registered them first, we tell you right away.

What exactly is the 10% calculated on?+

Every payment the client makes to StepUP in their first 12 months: positions, extra interviews, add-ons. Payments actually received, excluding taxes. If a payment is refunded, the commission on it comes off the next payout.

How and when do I get paid?+

Monthly, with a statement showing each client payment your cut is based on. We sign a short partner agreement before the first payout.

What does it cost my client?+

One position is $2,000 for six weeks: the interview plan agreed with their tech lead, up to 500 candidates scored, up to 10 interviews, and ranked verdicts with evidence. No subscription, no seats.

Can I resell the interviews under my own brand?+

Not within this program. If that is what you need, write to us and we will talk it through.

Next step

Name the company. We take it from there.
