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 within 30 days of acceptance, with paths to request company cover or compassionate review. The employer's optional additional bounty is never charged to the candidate.
Paid trials: Nothing is charged before a trial begins. Afterward, the company pays confirmed earned compensation, a 4% Sorcrr trial fee, and disclosed processing costs. Accepted terms and confirmed work time determine the amount. Schedule changes, extensions, early endings, partial attendance, and no-shows are recorded for adjustment or dispute review. The company remains responsible for earned compensation if payment fails, and overdue trial balances can pause new Hiring activity.
Payout availability: Sorcrr’s referral payout launch corridor covers 34 countries. This is separate from Stripe’s list of 46 countries where businesses can open full merchant accounts. We use the legal payout country confirmed before a bounty-bearing referral; a phone prefix is only an early hint. If the country is not supported, the person can still finish signup and use a plain attribution-only share. Displayed bounties remain estimates until payout eligibility, funding, reconciliation, and the referral chain are confirmed.

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 covers both salary-based contributions → backend still separates bounty pool from platform revenue.
Employee pays nothing. Employer absorbs both sides of the placement economics.
If paying would be difficult, a candidate can ask Sorcrr for compassionate review. We consider each request based on their circumstances; approval is not guaranteed.
If approved, the candidate does not pay their contribution. Referrers receive less: the total referral bounty is reduced by half of the waived contribution. Sorcrr also forgoes its revenue from that contribution. We explain the reason and reduced reward to affected referrers; the employer's optional additional bounty is unchanged. See our bounty terms.
Displayed Hiring bounties are estimates. Payouts depend on funds actually collected. If a candidate does not pay or becomes unreachable, Sorcrr does not advance or guarantee their unpaid contribution; the available referral reward may be delayed or reduced. We inform affected referrers of changes. See the bounty terms.
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

Hiring Remedy Choices
If a company is dissatisfied after a hire, it may choose up to two optional sequential 30-day replacement periods to reuse existing candidates or repush for more referrals, for up to 60 days total without a second base-bounty charge, or proceed directly to human monetary-refund review. Neither period is required before review or approval. This is not an automatic or promised monetary refund.
Every approved customer-requested Sorcrr Hiring refund returns refundable employer-funded bounty principal less a 4% Sorcrr refund-processing fee. The same deduction applies when a company voluntarily closes a paid job before a hire is accepted. Original Stripe/payment-processing charges and the separate optional-bounty transaction fee remain non-refundable. Automatic salary-reconciliation corrections, duplicate or unauthorized-charge corrections, Sorcrr billing errors, and refunds required by law are corrections rather than customer refund requests and do not incur the Sorcrr fee.
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.
Named Operating Access
Access belongs to one named person and may be self-paid or sponsored by an authorized company. Each higher tier replaces the lower tier; the prices do not stack. Access does not grant company membership, resource scope, delegation, approval authority, or AI funding.
Five-day trial. Each eligible person may receive one Commercial Operations trial. Stripe collects a payment method at checkout. Unless the payer cancels before the trial ends, the selected subscription begins at the displayed monthly total and renews monthly; the first charge occurs when the trial ends. If that first payment fails, trial access ends and payment recovery is required. The trial does not mint AI credits. Eligible existing credits remain usable, and any selected recurring AI allowance starts only after the first successful paid renewal.
Governed automation. Automated responses run only when the company enables them and current access, AI funding, evidence, safety, consent, and authority checks pass. Otherwise the conversation remains available for human handling. An explicit resolution action closes the case.
Historical founding and company-scoped subscription rights already granted remain honored under their original contracts. New founding admission is retired; new named access uses the tiers above.
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
Named access and AI funding stay separate. A person or sponsoring company may pair any named tier with an editable recurring monthly named-user allowance in the same checkout, or choose $0 for access only. A company may fund its shared AI pool separately through a one-time top-up or a recurring company-pool subscription.
Monthly allowance credits expire at each renewal and do not roll over. One-time top-ups to the shared company AI pool do not expire. Neither form of funding turns free Hiring participants into paid operator seats.
Renewal recovery. After at least one successfully paid period, a later recurring renewal failure may receive up to 48 hours of continued access while the payer recovers payment. No new monthly AI allowance is issued until payment succeeds. After that window, paid capabilities may be limited while existing company data remains accessible and payment-recovery controls remain available. Successful payment restores the paid capabilities and issues the then-current monthly allowance.
Promotional credits. Signup and promotional credits are generally limited to one grant per verified person or identity. Deleting an account and registering again does not reset eligibility. Sorcrr may retain a minimal pseudonymous, no-raw-phone eligibility record for up to 24 months after account deletion to prevent duplicate grants. Contact privacy@sorcrr.com or use in-app support to appeal an eligibility error.
Subscription control. Canceling schedules the access subscription and monthly allowance to end at renewal; it does not end access immediately. You may undo that cancellation before the renewal date.
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 within 30 days of acceptance. 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. Named access is $8/person/month for Employee Operations, $80/person/month for Customer Support, or $200/person/month for Commercial Operations. The tiers are cumulative replacements, AI usage is funded separately, and an editable allowance or $0 access-only may be selected.
-
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 launches referral payouts across a separate 34-country payout corridor and is expanding. Stripe merchant-account availability in 46 countries does not by itself establish referral-payout eligibility. Sorcrr records a seller payable when a booking is paid, then releases eligible net funds after refund, dispute, risk, split, and payout-eligibility checks clear.
