Scylla Solutions Join Us
Direct-Hire desk platform

Own your recruiting desk.
We run the back office.

Talentpreneur lets you operate a staffing desk under Scylla's infrastructure instead of building an agency from scratch. You earn up to 60% of the distributable margin on every Direct-Hire placement, shown line by line on every deal, while Scylla handles billing, collections, compliance, and the rest of the back office. There's no cost to join, and payouts run twice a month, on the 1st and the 16th.

Three ways to work

Recruiter, Growth, or Full-Desk:
every seat earns differently.

Every partner on Talentpreneur plays one of three roles on a placement, and which one you play sets your share of the deal. Knowing the difference makes the payout math further down easier to follow.

Recruiter Partner

Fill the role. Source, submit, and place candidates against live reqs, whether they came from the shared Req Marketplace or a Growth Partner's client. You earn 30% of distributable margin on every placement you make, with no client relationship required.

Growth Partner

Win the client. Bring in and manage the client relationship through business development. You earn 30% of distributable margin on every placement made against your accounts, whether you fill the role yourself or a Recruiter Partner does.

Full-Desk Partner

Do both. Originate the client relationship and fill the role yourself. Both shares stack, so you keep 60% of distributable margin, the highest published share on the platform.

The agency math

At a traditional agency,
the house keeps most of what you bill.

You bring in the placement and generate the gross profit, but most of it goes to overhead you don't control: office costs, management layers, and the agency's own margin. What actually lands in your pocket is usually a small fraction of the number you put on the board.

The house sets the commission rate, and it can change.
You built the relationship and did the work, but the balance sheet belongs to someone else.

The economics · Every deal, in the open

Transparent, spread-based pay.
Up to 60% of distributable margin is yours.

Every placement shows its full breakdown, from gross profit down to your payout, so there's nothing hidden in how you get paid. Below is how every Direct-Hire spread splits, before you take the search.

How it works

From application
to first payout.

You can be active and billing within days. Compare that to the months it normally takes to incorporate a business, get payroll and insurance in place, and piece together a recruiting tech stack on your own.

Step 01

Apply, free of charge

Complete a short application and identity verification, then e-sign your partner agreement. You'll also finish a brief Academy certification covering how the platform, billing, and compliance work. There's no payment or card required at any point, and most partners are active within a few days.

Step 02

Claim reqs or bring clients

Pick up open roles from the shared Req Marketplace and start billing right away, or register your own clients and earn origination credit on every placement made against their business.

Step 03

Place & get paid

Scylla invoices the client and handles collections, so you never chase payment yourself. You earn your share on every placement, with the full spread, margin, and payout breakdown visible per deal in your dashboard.

What you get

Everything a staffing agency runs on,
without building one yourself.

A staffing business normally needs half a dozen or more separate tools and vendors: an ATS, a CRM, e-signature, invoicing, compliance tracking, and more. Talentpreneur bundles all of it into one platform that's already running.

ATS + CRM

Pipeline, candidates, and clients in one place.

AI sourcing

AI-assisted candidate sourcing and matching against your open roles.

Contracts & e-sign

Agreements and tax forms, handled.

Billing & invoicing

We invoice the client, so you never chase paper.

Reporting & analytics

Every deal's economics, visible in real time.

Compliance & insurance

Vetting, agreements, and coverage.

Collections

We handle collections so you don't have to.

Brand & back office

Branded materials and administrative support from day one.

No money at risk

You're never charged. Never clawed back.

Partners are never charged, and there is no mechanism in the platform that can debit your account. Scylla invoices the client and runs collections; your share is released once the client pays, and a client who pays late or not at all is Scylla's to chase, never a bill for you.

Why Scylla

Backed by 30 years
of collective experience.

"I brought my book of business. Scylla brought the collections, the compliance, and the tech. My first placement paid out quickly, and I never had to build any of the back office myself."

Early Talentpreneur Partner · Full-Desk
30 years

Talentpreneur runs on the legal, financial, and operating infrastructure of a staffing and IT services team with 30 years of collective experience. You don't pay to build any of that yourself; it's already in place, and you put it to work behind your own desk.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

Yes. It's free to join and free to stay, with no card on file and no way for Scylla to debit your account. Scylla takes a 30% operating share of the spread; the remaining 70% is the distributable margin your share is calculated on, and a full-desk partner earns 60% of it. Scylla only makes money when you do.

No. You can claim live roles from the shared Req Marketplace and start billing right away, or register your own clients to earn origination credit as well.

You earn your share on every placement, and the full breakdown, from spread to distributable margin to your cut, is visible in your dashboard for each deal. Recruiting and Growth roles each earn 30% of distributable margin; play both roles full-desk and you keep 60%. Payouts run on the 1st and the 16th of each month, released once the client pays under that account's contract terms (typically Net 7 to Net 90). Hit your quarterly placement targets and you also earn a cash bonus on top (Gold adds 5%, Platinum adds 10%).

The accounts and candidates you bring in belong to you, and you earn origination credit on every placement made against them. It's your book and your relationships, not Scylla's.

No. There is no fee to join, nothing to buy, and no recruiting of other partners. You run a staffing desk and get paid on the spread you produce.
