Keep yourfee.

02 · How it works for you

Set it. Submit it. Get paid.

01

Your fee, all of it.

Set your fee as a percentage of first-year salary. For practices that meet you through Dibs, Dibs adds 7.5% on top and the practice sees the total. Dibs never takes a cut of yours.

02

First complete one wins.

Submit with the candidate's yes for that practice and role. Before you send, Dibs tells you if the practice already knows them, so you never waste a call.

03

Paid once. No chasing.

Dibs invoices the practice, holds your fee once they've paid, and pays you in full when the 3-month refund window closes. You can see the money land, and we raise your invoice for you.

03 · Your existing clients

Free for 12 months.

If a practice already works with you, it can invite you in and Dibs is free for that relationship for 12 months. Keep billing them the way you do now. Dibs just records who got there first, so a duplicate CV never turns into an argument.

04 · The ground rules

Good for practices. Good for you.

01

Up to 3 recruiters a role.

Practices choose who works each role, or go exclusive. No more ten agencies calling the same architect.

02

The practice's pitch.

Use the brief and pitch the practice approved, and respect whether it wants to be named.

03

No disguised adverts.

Never advertise a role as if you were the practice.

04

Stop after a no.

If a candidate isn't interested, that's the end of it.

05

Hands off their team.

While you work a practice's roles, and for 6 months after, don't approach its staff.

06

Fair warning.

If something goes wrong, you get the reason in writing and 5 working days to reply before any suspension.

05 · First cohort

Call dibs.

We're starting with a small group of independent architecture recruiters. Ask for an invite.
