A role definition both sides agree
The Cipher states what success looks like before anyone interviews, then becomes the roadmap for the hire.
The HireBest Talent Partner Program
Bring structured interviews into your searches, lead a stronger client decision and share in the value when a client adopts HireBest.
What changes with HireBest
Interviews that produce evidence
Every interviewer works from a clear guide and rates on the same scale, with notes and summaries captured as they go.
A debrief you can lead
Arrive with ratings, reasons and the areas still worth probing, so the conversation is about the decision.
How the partnership works
Five steps, from a single pilot search to a client who licenses HireBest on their own.
1. Pilot one search
One job and one team at no cost, including Cipher creation and training.
2. Run your process
You screen candidates as usual. HireBest captures takeaways, context and interview evidence.
3. Structure the client loop
The client's interviewers use the guide you shaped and rate against the Cipher.
4. Lead the debrief
Walk the client through the evidence, disagreements and what is still open.
5. Hand off, or keep going
Close the workspace, reuse it with that client, or move them to their own licence.
What it costs, and what you earn
- 10% referral fee. On the client's first-year subscription, paid once after their first quarterly invoice is paid. You may pass it on as a client discount.
- Pilot. One job, one team, at no cost, including Cipher creation and training.
- After the pilot. $50 per recruiter per month, with a $2,000 monthly minimum. No billing per interview.
- Implementation. A one-time $5,000 fee covers standard set-up and training; waived for firms that intend to introduce clients.
- After six months. Stay on the referral program or move to the partner program with waived software fees, certification and client discounts.
- Attribution. Register the client when the engagement starts; credit holds for 12 months.
What stays yours
- Your screening process and questions. Privacy can keep your screening interviews private while sharing takeaways.
- Your consulting work. Draft the Cipher privately from intake and present it as your work.
- Your client relationship. If the client licenses HireBest, you retain access to roles tied to your engagements.
Frequently asked questions
What does the pilot cost?
Nothing. We set up one job and one team at no cost, build the Cipher with you and run a short training session.
Is the referral fee a commission?
No. It is a referral fee of 10% of the client's first-year subscription, paid once after the client's first quarterly invoice is paid. You can pass it on to your client as a discount instead.
Does HireBest replace our applicant tracking system?
No. HireBest runs alongside it. Where your platform has an API, we can integrate it to move candidates in and resulting data back out.
Who sees our screening interviews?
You decide. Privacy can be set so the hiring manager sees your takeaways, not your screening interviews or questions.
