Transparent Pricing.
No Hidden Fees.
Sorcrr charges a fraction of what traditional platforms take. Whether you're hiring talent or selling services, you always know exactly what you're paying.
How Hiring Pricing Works
Both sides contribute 25% of one month’s salary. Both contributions flow through the same bounty system — Sorcrr participates as the first link in the chain, and referrers earn the rest via geometric half-life. The employee can opt out or request the employer cover their share, but referrers earn less when that happens.
Three Scenarios
Employer 25% + Employee 25% → Sorcrr (first link, 50% of each) + Referrers (remaining 50% of each)
Two pools, same rules. Maximum referral incentive — referrers earn from both sides.
Employer pays 50% total → Same split: Sorcrr (first link, 25%) + Referrers (25%)
Same full bounty for referrers. Employee pays nothing. Employer absorbs both contributions.
Employer 25% only → Sorcrr (first link, 12.5%) + Referrers split remaining 12.5%
Only one pool. Same geometric rules apply, but referrers earn half as much.
Where the Money Goes
Same geometric half-life on each pool. When employee opts out, only the employer’s pool exists — referrers earn less.
~2% of annual salary per party — Traditional recruiters charge 15–25% of annual salary. Sorcrr charges 25% of one month from each side. Half of each contribution flows back into the referral chain — the people who actually made the connection. When only the employer contributes, the same rules apply, but with one pool instead of two.
Bounty Distribution
Both pools use the same geometric half-life distribution. Sorcrr is always the first link — the platform that made the connection possible. After Sorcrr’s share, referrers closest to the candidate earn the most. Maximum chain depth is 5.
- Sorcrr (first link) receives 50% of each pool
- Closest referrer receives 50% of the remaining pool
- Next referrer receives 50% of the remainder, and so on
- Last referrer in the chain receives the final remainder
- When employee opts out: only the employer’s pool exists — referrers earn half as much
- Minimum payout: $50 per referrer
- Stripe payout fee: 0.25% + $0.25 (deducted from each payout)
Hiring Cost Calculator
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
Minimum Bounty — All 16 Industries
Providers choose their bounty percentage (what % of the sale goes to the referral pool). One simple minimum across every industry. Higher bounties attract more referrals and visibility.
Maximum bounty: 50% • Default: 20%
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Stripe does not return processing fees on refunds (2.9% + $0.30). This non-refundable cost is passed through to the party that triggers the cancellation — the platform never absorbs it.
This is industry standard — Airbnb, Uber, and all major marketplaces operate the same way. Stripe refund docs →

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the employee actually pay?
After accepting an offer, the employee is invited to contribute 25% of their final monthly salary (Net-30). This is optional — the employee can opt out and request the employer cover it. If both decline, only the employer’s 25% applies, and the bounty for referrers is reduced. When the employee contributes, 100% of that contribution goes to the referrers who helped make the connection.
-
Is there a subscription or monthly fee?
Sorcrr is free to start. Hiring is pay-per-placement only — no subscriptions. Market charges 8% per transaction with a generous free tier (49 offerings). Paid provider tiers ($59–$349/mo) are available for studios and businesses that need higher listing limits.
-
What if the final salary differs from the posted range?
If the final negotiated salary differs by more than 10% from the posted average, a reconciliation process adjusts the fees. Underpayments are invoiced and overpayments are credited to your account.
-
How does bounty distribution work?
When the employee contributes, the full 25% bounty goes entirely to referrers via geometric half-life — closest referrer gets 50%, next gets 50% of the remainder, last gets the rest. When the employee opts out and the employer declines to cover it, the employer’s 25% is split: Sorcrr takes the first node (50%) and referrers split the remaining 50%. Maximum chain depth is 5.
-
What if there's no referral?
For Market: direct bookings with no referral chain only incur the 8% platform fee and Stripe processing. No bounty is deducted. For Hiring: the referral network is core to the platform, but employers can also post jobs without bounties.
-
Can providers set any bounty percentage?
Providers choose their bounty from 20–50% across all 16 industries. One flat minimum keeps it simple. Higher bounties attract more referrals and visibility.
-
Are Stripe fees included in the percentages shown?
No. Stripe processing fees (2.9% + $0.30) and payout fees (0.25% + $0.25) are separate and passed through at cost. Sorcrr does not add any markup to Stripe's fees. You can verify this on Stripe's pricing page.
-
How do I receive payouts?
Payouts are processed via Stripe Connect. You'll complete a one-time onboarding to verify your identity and link your bank account. Standard payouts (2 business days) are free. Instant payouts (1% fee) are available where supported by Stripe.
