When does an employer sign the recruitment agreement?

An employer can use the Hiring Agent and save role drafts first. During the Founding Employer launch, verified searches enter manual NeverCV review. Formal agreements are completed before paid candidate introductions when the e-signature workflow is activated.

When is candidate contact information shared?

Candidate identity and contact information are exchanged only after the employer and candidate separately approve the introduction.

How does NeverCV charge companies?

Approved Founding Employers pay no monthly platform fee and pay a 10% success fee based on first-year base salary only when a candidate starts. The standard AI Headhunter model combines monthly access with the same 10% successful-hire fee recorded in the signed Job Order.

NEVERCV · FOR COMPANIES

Build the Hiring Agent that knows who you actually need.

Describe who you need in plain English. Your Hiring Agent turns the public JD—and what usually sits beneath it—into a clear brief, then surfaces strong candidates from the NeverCV talent network within minutes.

THE REAL BRIEF

A JD rarely says everything that matters.

Your Hiring Agent keeps interviewing the hiring team until the role is specific enough to match responsibly—without turning setup into another long form.

Outcomes

What success should look like after 30, 60, and 90 days.

Flexibility

What is a must-have, what is preferred, and what evidence can substitute.

Working reality

Budget, timezone, pace, manager style, and decision process.

AGENT-LED INTAKE

From one conversation to selective introductions.

01Tell it naturally
Start with the real need. No polished JD required.
02Let the Agent clarify
It asks the questions that separate a good profile from a good fit.
03Meet selectively
Review a small number of compatible, high-intent people after mutual interest.

Built for accountable introductions.

Company verification, an active role, NeverCV review, candidate consent, and a complete audit trail gate every introduction. Commercial terms are confirmed before any paid placement.

Anonymous compatibility before identity
Contact exchange only after both sides approve
Humans make the final hiring decision

CONTROLLED AGENT MATCHING

Agents compare privately. People meet selectively.

Career Agents and Hiring Agents do not freely exchange private notes. NeverCV runs a controlled compatibility protocol, an internal review, and two separate consent checks before contact details are released.

Launch manually now. Formalize before paid introductions.

The Founding Employer release accepts verified search requests for manual NeverCV review without Dropbox Sign. When formal contracting is activated, the Master Recruitment Agreement is signed once and each search receives a role-specific Job Order that freezes compensation range, fee, hiring lead, and special conditions.

Pre-existing candidate claims require supporting records within 5 business days.
A qualified introduction carries the ownership period stated in the signed agreement, including covered affiliate or different-role hires.
Offer, compensation, and Start Date are confirmed from both employer and candidate sides.
Off-platform interviews are normal; bypassing an attributed placement does not remove the agreed fee.

Submitting a search during the manual-review launch is not a signed recruitment agreement and does not create a placement fee. Paid introductions begin only after commercial terms are separately confirmed. Once enabled, the signed Master Recruitment Agreement and Job Order will control.

Not more candidates. Better introductions.

Create the Agent and shape the Hiring Brief first. Verified Founding Employer searches enter NeverCV review; candidate identity and contact remain locked until the introduction is approved.
