Transparent Pricing.
No Hidden Fees.
Hiring stays inclusive. Providers and referrers can grow the network for free. Companies pay when Sorcrr becomes their operating system: Market, Books, SAI, company knowledge, customer support, and high-cost AI work.
How Hiring Pricing Works
The company pays the base placement fee at job posting. The backend computes the company-funded bounty pool from salary, holds distribution until post-hire settlement, and finalizes the amount only after salary reconciliation and chain selection clear. After offer acceptance, the candidate owes 25% of final monthly salary only on Net-30 terms, with paths to request company cover or compassionate review. The employer's optional additional bounty is never charged to the candidate.
Three Payment Paths
Employer 25% at posting + employee 25% after hire → backend settlement separates bounty pool from platform revenue.
Full economics, delayed until final salary and chain selection are known.
Employer pays the full monthly-equivalent amount → backend still separates bounty pool from platform revenue.
Employee pays nothing. Employer absorbs both sides of the placement economics.
A candidate who cannot pay can request a compassionate exemption for review.
An exemption is reviewed rather than promised; the employer's optional additional bounty never becomes candidate liability.
Where the Money Goes
Final distribution waits for hire, salary reconciliation, chain selection, and bounty eligibility.
Bounty-led hiring. The company funds the base placement economics at posting. After a hire, salary reconciliation and chain selection finalize the eligible bounty pool so the people who made the connection can share in the outcome. Hiring participants remain unlimited and are not counted as paid operators.
High-value base review. A job whose canonical company-funded base is above $250,000 stays draft and unpaid while Sorcrr reviews any requested exception. An approval is valid for 14 days, and changed salary or currency economics require a new review.
Bounty Distribution
The company-funded bounty pool uses an edge-favored geometric distribution after post-hire true-up. Two chains can be computed — one anchored on the candidate and one on the company — and merged: both endpoints earn 2× weight, decaying geometrically toward the middle. Maximum chain depth is 5.
- Referrers split the eligible bounty pool by proximity to either endpoint
- Distribution: 1 node = [100%], 2 = [50, 50], 3 = [40, 20, 40], 4 = [33.3, 16.7, 16.7, 33.3], 5 = [30.8, 15.4, 7.7, 15.4, 30.8]
- Endpoints (closest to candidate, closest to company) earn the most; middle earns the least
- The candidate contribution is salary-only; an employer's optional additional bounty is excluded from candidate liability
- Internal hiring decision makers, voters, approvers, hiring managers, and financial controllers are analytics-only sharers, not bounty recipients for jobs they can influence
- Minimum payout: $50 per referrer
- Stripe payout / Connect cost: account- and flow-specific, disclosed before payout

Replacement-First Hiring Remedy
If a company is dissatisfied after a hire, the first remedy is an approved 30-day extension to reuse existing candidates or repush for more referrals. This is not an automatic or promised monetary refund. A human reviews any monetary-refund request after the replacement period.
Three successful approved monetary refunds among the company's last five distinct published paid jobs place only new job publication on review hold. Active Hiring, candidate conversations, and existing job work continue while Sorcrr reviews the pattern.
Recruiter & Sorcrr Workspaces
Sorcrrs and recruiters can operate through their own recruitment-firm workspace and create jobs under that authority, or work through an accepted membership linked to a client company. In both modes, Hiring participants are unlimited and excluded from counted non-hiring operator seats.
How Market Pricing Works
Providers set their own prices and bounty percentages. The platform takes a small cut and passes Stripe fees through transparently.
Where the Money Goes
Provider sets bounty percentage • No bounty on direct bookings
Direct-Checkout Bounty — 15 Public Verticals
Providers choose their bounty percentage (what % of the sale funds the bounty pool) for eligible direct-checkout offerings. Startup/SaaS redirect offerings are attribution-only unless explicit signed third-party reward terms are enabled.
The provider may choose any fully funded percentage at or above the server-resolved floor. There is no product ceiling or dollar cap; the 8% fee plus bounty must fit within the ticket for direct checkout.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Refunds are processed through Stripe and reduce the authoritative booking economics. Before a referrer transfer, cancellation or refund cancels or reduces the unsettled referral allocation and held seller payable. After a referrer transfer, a later customer refund does not automatically claw back or repay the referrer; the provider-funded bounty remains a seller acquisition expense and may be covered by retained or future seller payables or a seller receivable. Stripe processing fees may be non-refundable depending on the payment and cancellation scenario.
The authoritative ledger records the processor’s actual balance effect for the charge and applies the accepted terms. Stripe refund docs →
When Market Funds Release
Seller proceeds remain a held payable until service timing plus refund, dispute, risk, split, identity, and payout-eligibility checks clear. Providers cannot force-release a held payable.
Eligible referral allocations may release no earlier than seven full days after the later of service completion and the scheduled service time. Incomplete bookings cannot release, active pre-release disputes hold the allocation, and each Market referral transfer must be at least $0.50.
A Stripe transfer reversal is recorded as reversed or subject to recovery and is not automatically reissued. Any reissue requires separate recovery authority.

The Startup Operating Layer
Sorcrr is free where people create network value: applying, referring, sourcing, interviewing, selling, and buying. Companies start paying when they use Sorcrr as the shared operating layer across Market, Books, customer-facing SAI, company knowledge, support, sales, and finance workflows.
Company SAI And Full Customer Desk
Company Customer-Facing SAI is $80/company/month and approval-first. Full Customer Desk is $200/company/month and includes that $80 capability; the prices are non-additive. AI usage is funded separately.
The founding offer is available to the first 50 distinct qualifying companies admitted before the enrollment window closes at the earlier of the 50th admission or .
The offer ends when either limit is reached first. Qualification and enrollment are company-specific; this page does not represent that Stripe billing has already been configured.
Who Counts As An Operator?
Operator pricing is about internal business workflows, not ordinary participation. Hiring collaborators and supply-side contributors stay free so the referral network can compound.
AI Credits And Allowances
Credits stay simple: a one-time top-up funds a shared company AI pool, while a recurring monthly named-user allowance funds a specific person. Neither turns free Hiring participants into paid operator seats.
Free taste, paid leverage. Free KB starts at 100 entries or 10MB before upgrade prompts, with a hard launch cap at 200 entries or 25MB. Paid plans expand persistence, retention, activation, and automation while usage-heavy model calls draw from AI credits.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the employee actually pay?
After accepting an offer, the candidate contribution is 25% of final monthly salary only, due Net-30. The candidate may request company cover or compassionate review. The employer’s optional additional bounty is never charged to the candidate.
-
Is there a subscription or monthly fee?
Sorcrr is free to start. Hiring participation is free for candidates, Sorcrrs, referrers, recruiters, supervisors, interviewers, and job-specific hiring teams. Companies get 3 counted non-hiring operators included, then pay $8/month for each additional counted operator. Market providers get up to 49 active offerings free; above 49, new publication pauses for managed review until Commerce grants an approved replacement entitlement. Customer Pass is a separate Commerce product. Company Customer-Facing SAI is $80/company/month; Full Customer Desk is $200/company/month and includes that capability non-additively. AI usage is funded separately.
-
What if the final salary differs from the posted range?
Salary changes up to 10% reconcile normally. An increase above 10% requires a reviewed admin override before adjustment. Underpayments are then invoiced and overpayments are refunded through the authoritative reconciliation flow.
-
How does bounty distribution work?
The company-funded bounty pool is finalized after hire, salary reconciliation, and chain selection. Eligible referrers split the bounty via edge-favored geometric weights: a three-node chain splits 40/20/40; a five-node chain splits 30.8/15.4/7.7/15.4/30.8. The candidate contribution remains salary-only and excludes the employer's optional additional bounty. Hiring decision makers and voters remain analytics-only sharers for jobs they can influence.
-
What if there's no referral?
For Market, direct bookings with no referral chain only incur the 8% platform fee and applicable Stripe processing. Hiring always requires the server-computed company-funded base of 25% of average posted monthly salary. Only a canonical base strictly above $250,000 can request a reviewed reduction while the job remains draft and unpaid; there is no self-serve no-bounty posting.
-
Can providers set any bounty percentage?
Providers may choose any fully funded bounty percentage at or above the server-resolved category and ticket-size floor, with no product ceiling or dollar cap. For direct checkout, the 8% transaction fee plus bounty must fit within the ticket; that is a funding boundary, not a product cap. Startup/SaaS redirect offerings use attribution only unless explicit signed third-party reward terms are enabled.
-
Are Stripe fees included in the percentages shown?
No. Stripe processing and payout fees are separate and passed through or deducted as disclosed for the transaction. Sorcrr does not add any markup to Stripe's fees. You can verify current Stripe rates on Stripe's pricing page.
-
How do I receive payouts?
Seller payouts use Stripe Connect after identity and bank onboarding. Sorcrr records a seller payable when a booking is paid, then releases eligible net funds after refund, dispute, risk, and split checks clear.
