Two ways.

Traditional recruiters charge 20–25% and keep most of it. ExpertsCircle charges 15% and gives 75% to the expert who made the connection. No retainers, no upfront cost.

AI-based tools like LinkedIn Recruiter surface CVs based on keyword matching — you still have to filter hundreds of profiles yourself. On ExpertsCircle, a domain expert has already done that work. You receive a curated shortlist of candidates vouched for by someone who has worked in the role.

Cheaper than an agency. More trustworthy than an algorithm.

Experts Circle puts your job in front of domain specialists — professionals who have actually worked in the field and understand exactly what the role demands. They are not sourcing from a CV database. They draw on real professional knowledge and their own industry networks.

Each expert personally vouches for every candidate they put forward. If they recommend someone, it is because they have assessed them against the role and believe they can do the job. Their own platform reputation is on the line.

You pay nothing upfront. A flat 15% success fee applies only when your hire starts.

Every candidate you receive has been personally screened and vouched for by a domain expert with first-hand knowledge of what the role requires. These are not algorithmic matches — each recommendation reflects a professional’s own judgement, and their platform reputation depends on the quality of who they put forward.

You can view each expert’s rating and placement track record before acting on their recommendations, giving you full visibility into who is vouching for the candidates you are considering.

The security and privacy of employer data is a top priority for Experts Circle. The platform uses state-of-the-art security measures to protect all data, including employer information.

Employer data is stored securely in the platform’s servers, which are protected by industry-standard encryption and other security measures to prevent unauthorized access, theft, or data breaches.

Access to employer data is restricted only to authorized personnel who are bound by confidentiality agreements. The platform also complies with relevant data protection laws and regulations, including GDPR and CCPA.

Employers can fill vacancies faster with confidence that every recommended candidate has been screened and vouched for by an expert who has the same skills and has worked in the same field.

You only receive recommendations for candidates your experts genuinely believe are right for the role. Experts have deep knowledge of the technical and soft skills each position demands — and they stake their professional reputation on every candidate they put forward.

Experts on the platform are often established leaders in their fields. The platform’s rating and placement history lets you choose the most suitable experts for your specific hiring needs.

Candidate placement can be driven by an expert identifying a relevant open role for someone in their professional network, or by a hiring manager posting a job directly on the platform. When a job is posted, the most relevant experts are notified and can begin putting forward candidates they know and personally vouch for. The hiring manager then receives a curated shortlist of vetted candidates.

Experts Circle operates on a success fee model — you pay nothing until you hire. When a candidate introduced by an expert is successfully hired, a flat 15% fee applies. The expert receives the majority of this fee; Experts Circle retains a small portion.

All payments are handled through the platform, and both the employer and expert are notified once the transaction is processed.

Our platform currently uses a system that automatically generates feedback based on employer actions in response to expert recommendations — tracking whether employers ignore, shortlist, or interview candidates. This informs each expert’s score and helps maintain high standards. Other employers can see a given expert’s effectiveness, and experts can use these insights to improve.

We are also introducing a feature that will allow employers to leave direct written feedback for experts they have worked with.

There are no specific restrictions on the types of companies or industries that can use Experts Circle. The platform serves a wide range of industries and job roles, from tech startups to established enterprises.

Experts on the platform have specific areas of expertise, so it is important to choose an expert with direct experience in your industry or the role you are hiring for. Employers are also responsible for ensuring they comply with any relevant hiring regulations in their sector.

No. Experts at Experts Circle are independent professionals who apply their domain knowledge to help employers find the right candidates. They earn a commission on successful placements. Experts Circle acts as the marketplace — connecting experts with hiring managers, not employing them.

If there’s a concern about a placement, we encourage you to contact us through our Contact Us page. Both Experts Circle and the expert will work with you in good faith to understand the situation and explore options, which may include further assistance with your hiring. Disputes are resolved within a reasonable timeframe based on the circumstances.
