Scout FAQs

How Does It Work?

If a candidate quits or is fired, Scout pays the recruiter a fee to find a replacement, and it’s free for the hiring firm.


How Much Does It Cost?

The cost varies based on the hiring firm. Your customer pays an extra fee between 1% - 3% of the candidate's salary. 


I Don’t Want to Offer A 6 Month Guarantee

We understand and agree!


Hiring companies want 6-month Guarantees.

Recruiters don't. Scout covers the gap.


Your clients value 6-month guarantees and are willing to pay extra for that assurance. Try offering a 6-month guarantee on your next new BD call and see the impact or ask your existing clients for their preferences. Offering a free replacement also means no refunds, protecting your booked revenue. 



I Already Offer Rebates.

What’s the Point of Scout?

Hiring firms prefer a 6-month guarantee over rebates since this tends to lose them money. They are willing to pay extra for it. With rebates, you might have to refund money, but with us, you never lose booked revenue.


Do you really want the risk of using your own rebates or replacement policies? With us, you don’t have to refund any money and you get paid to find a replacement! Protect your cash flow, protect your time, and protect against losses.



I Already Offer Free Replacements.

What’s the Point of Scout?

If you already offer free replacements, you provide unpaid work. However, with Scout, we pay you to find replacements. It’s free for your client with no hidden clauses, giving you back time & revenue otherwise lost.


Still not convinced? We suggest also asking your recruiters how they feel about unpaid replacement work.



I don’t have many failed placements. What’s the Point of Scout?

That’s even more reason you should offer a guarantee!

When you offer guarantees, it proves to your customers and to the world how good you are at your job.

OUR STORY

Your Trusted Partner

Hiring companies want 6-month free replacements. Recruiters don't. Scout helps cover the gap.

Scout was born from a simple frustration our Founder Sahim knew all too well: the pain of a failed placement.


As a former recruiter, Sahim experienced the pressure of ensuring every placement was perfect and deeply disliked the double jeopardy of traditional refund solutions—either clients lose money with sliding scale refunds or redoing the work without pay when offering free replacements. This also meant less time to work on new roles for new revenue.


That's why Scout offers a game-changing guarantee: if a candidate quits or is fired in the first 6 months, Scout pays the recruiter to find a replacement, at no cost to your clients. This means no more dilemmas for recruiters or their clients over lost money or the grind of unpaid, additional work. With Scout, recruiters can confidently offer a free, guaranteed replacement, doubling down on trust, not trouble.


Driven by Sahim’s vision, Scout is transforming recruitment into a seamless, fair, and risk-free experience. We're here to ensure that recruiters can focus on what they do best, backed by a guarantee that protects their effort and their clients’ investment. Join our mission to redefine recruitment with confidence and care at every step.
