Performance & Base Fee ReviewWe recognize that revenue takes time, especially when opening a new market.If revenue is temporarily below target but agreed activity levels, including qualified demo targets, are consistently delivered, the base contractor fee will not be reduced solely because of the revenue shortfall.If, after ramp-up, both commercial results and agreed activity levels are materially and consistently below target, Recruitis may review the commercial terms.Following a review, Recruitis may offer continuation for a subsequent period at a reduced base contractor fee. Revised terms must be agreed in writing before the new period begins.Compensation already earned will not be reduced retroactively. How Quota & Commission Are CalculatedCustomer subscriptions are based on a 12-month contractual commitment, whether paid annually upfront or in monthly installments.For quota purposes, the full Net New First-Year Subscription Revenue, after discounts and credits, counts once the 12-month customer agreement is signed.Commission is calculated from the same amount but becomes payable only as the corresponding payments are actually paid by the customer and received by Recruitis.If a customer signs a 12-month agreement and pays monthly, the full first-year value counts toward quota at signing, while commission is paid progressively as each payment is received.Accelerators apply incrementally to revenue within each tier.There is no cap on total commission earnings. Engagement StructureThis is an independent contractor engagement, not an employment position.The contractor independently organizes and executes commercial activities while working toward mutually agreed business objectives and sales targets.The engagement will be governed by a written contractor agreement covering scope, compensation, commission mechanics, targets and payment terms. LocationWe're primarily looking for someone based in New York City or the NYC metropolitan area, but we're open to exceptional candidates elsewhere on the US East Coast.New York is our preferred location because we want to build a strong commercial presence in the city and its HR Tech ecosystem.The engagement is remote-first, but being active in the market matters. Customer meetings, industry events, networking and face-to-face relationship building will be important. Why Now?Joining Recruitis now means joining before the US commercial organization exists.If we succeed, you'll have been one of the people who built Recruitis in the United States.
