A bonus is paid on a hire. Once there is one, this table decides how big it is, from two questions: how fast did the call happen and how many of the people you put into screening reached the client. Everything below is read live out of the same config the money is calculated from, so this page cannot quietly disagree with your cards. It is the same page for everybody — nothing here is about you or your searches.

Every number in the table below is what a placement would pay. It is not money you have, and it is not money you are owed — a bonus exists the moment a candidate you sourced is hired, and not one day earlier. Sending people to screening, getting them to the client, holding a great ratio: all of that decides how much a placement pays. The hire decides whether one does.
That is why every forward-looking figure in the app is worded a placement pays… — the money belongs to a placement, not to a day on a clock. A settled placement shows its plain figure — that money is real.
The bonus is a percentage of the placed person's monthly salary. It is not a cut of what the client pays us. Those are different numbers and they move independently — on a client whose fee is capped, a big placement can carry a small fee and the bonus is unaffected either way, because it was never measured against it.
Not the day you were assigned, and not the day the candidate said yes. The row you land in is counted from the day the search opened, which means everyone working a search is on the same day number. Joining a search that has been running for three weeks does not hand you a fresh clock, and it is not meant to: the table prices how quickly the client got somebody in front of them, not how recently you arrived.
Days are calendar days. A stamped client-side pause is the only thing that takes days back off the count.
Screening Done is the mark. Not "they replied", not "they agreed", not "it is booked for Thursday" — the call has to have happened. That is deliberate: candidates who said yes and were then left alone evaporated before anyone spoke to them, so the moment the table pays for is the hand-off you can drive yourself.
A no-show does not stop the clock. Nothing has happened yet, so the days keep counting while you chase the reschedule. Rebooking quickly is the whole move here.
The denominator is everyone who booked a screening call — no-shows included. A no-show still took an interviewer's hour off the calendar, so it counts. The numerator is the subset the client actually received. Saving profiles onto the role does not enter the ratio at all; it is counted and shown, but it is not what you are measured on.
Because everyone submitted was also booked, the ratio can never go above the top column — reaching it means every person you booked went to the client.
A ratio exactly on a column edge lands in the higher column — the edges in the table above are yours the moment you touch them. The same fence rule holds on the day rows: a day exactly on a row boundary lands in the later row.
The moment a candidate's screening call happens, their row is stamped and it never moves again. Their call on day 6, hired the following March — still the day-6 row. The ratio column is the one thing still counted at placement, because a ratio belongs to the whole search and cannot be known one candidate at a time.
So a slow week later does not cost you anything already stamped, and a fast month later cannot rescue a row that already locked. Each candidate is priced on their own day.
Every rate in the table is a percentage of the placed person's monthly salary. Never the annual figure, and never twelve times anything. The client's own fee is a percentage of a first-year salary and that is a different party's money — the two are not the same number and are not meant to look like each other.
When someone is hired, the search's counter and the ratio window start again for the next seat. A role that hires three people is three searches in a row, each one priced on its own days and its own conversion — the fourth month of a long multi-seat search does not follow you into the seat you have just started.
