Recruit4Work Partner Network
Some roles need a hunter.
You are the recruiter people call when the job ad did not work. Join our partner network, keep everything you already do, and take on the hard-to-fill vacancies of our clients across Europe — for a premium commission per hire.
Already at an agency? Keep it. Add us.
Keep your job
Work at an agency, in-house or for yourself? Stay there. This is non-exclusive and runs next to what you already do.
Keep your network
Your candidates stay yours to introduce. We only see the people you choose to submit, for the vacancy you submit them to.
Keep your hours
No targets, no timesheets, no weekly calls you did not ask for. You decide when you hunt.
From first hello to paid placement
Apply and get checked
Send the form below. We check your freelance or company registration in the EU, then you get your own login to the partner portal.
Pick your vacancies
Browse the roles that are open for partners. Every vacancy shows the commission before you start. Pick up to three.
Get the inside story
Each vacancy has a briefing and a direct line to our recruitment manager: by message in the portal, or just call.
Submit, we take over
Upload the CV. Our candidate coordinators present the candidate, run the interviews with the client and keep you posted.
Get paid, grow
Candidate hired? You invoice the agreed commission, and you earn an extra slot for one more vacancy at the same time.
What you get
Roles worth your time
Senior, specialist and multilingual positions across Europe. The searches that need a real hunter, not a job ad.
Premium commission
Higher than our standard rates, because these roles are harder. Shown per vacancy, agreed before you put in a single hour.
One person to talk to
Questions about the role, the team or the salary room go straight to our recruitment manager. No ticket system.
We do the client work
Presenting, interview planning, feedback and contracts are on us. You stay focused on finding the right person.
Live status
Follow every candidate you submit: with our coordinators, in process, offer, hired.
Fair play
Someone already in our database? The portal tells you instantly, before you spend more time on them.
We don't need more CVs. We need the one person nobody else could find.
Who we are looking for
- Several years of recruitment or headhunting experience, ideally in a niche
- A network in at least one European market or language group
- Quality over volume: you submit only candidates you would bet on
- Registered as a freelancer or company in the EU, with a European bank account
- Discreet with client information and fair with candidates
Questions partners ask
Can I really keep working for my own agency or employer?
Yes. The partnership is non-exclusive. Just make sure your current contract allows it, and do not submit candidates you are already presenting elsewhere for the same role.
How much is the commission?
It depends on the vacancy and is always shown in the portal before you pick it. It is higher than our standard freelance commissions, because partners only work on the hard-to-fill roles.
Do I see the client?
No. Client names and contracts stay with us; you get a full briefing about the role, the team and the profile instead. That protects the client and you, because nobody can bypass anyone.
What if my candidate is already in your database?
The portal checks e-mail, phone and LinkedIn the moment you submit. If the person is already known to us, you see it straight away, so you never work for nothing.
What do I need to apply?
A freelance or company registration in an EU country (VAT / fiscal number), a European bank account and solid recruitment or headhunting experience.
How many vacancies can I work on?
Three at the same time to start with. Every candidate you place unlocks one more.
Apply as a partner
It takes about five minutes. We check every application personally and get back to you within a few working days.
