🚀 Quarterly Fee Boosts
Great recruiters deserve great economics. This quarterly bonus program is exclusive to Preferred Recruiters. Starting this quarter, your reward on Paraform automatically climbs as you hit clearly‑defined placement milestones.
How the ladder works
(Preferred & Premier Recruiters only — bonus expressed as a percentage above the listed fee.)
Tier 0 (Baseline) – 0 hires this quarter: listed rate
Achieve a tier this quarter and you begin the next quarter at that tier. If you don’t repeat the threshold, you’ll slip down just one tier—no cliff drops.
When your rate changes
Automatic review at the end of each quarter, based solely on that quarter’s results.
Carry‑forward: Whatever tier you earn this quarter is the tier you start on in the next quarter.
Promotion: Climb to a higher tier by quarter‑end and your new take‑rate applies to all hires in the following quarter.
Safety net: Fall short of your previous tier’s threshold and you slide back one tier—no cliff drops. Example: You finish Q1 in Tier 3. In Q2 you log just 2 hires, so you’ll enter Q3 at Tier 2.
Access to Premier Status
Premier Club Status – Achieve Tier 3 this quarter and you’ll be upgraded to a Premier Recruiter (see perks below)
