How it Works

A simple system for earning from hiring — without running a full agency

TechTree is designed to let Talent Partners contribute only where they add the most value, while the platform and core team handle the rest.

You don’t run clients. You don’t chase feedback. You don’t manage ATS workflows.

You focus on candidates. We handle delivery.

The TechTree model (at a glance)

TechTree combines three things into one system:

1. AI-powered sourcing & outreach

2. A shared hiring platform (ATS + workflows)

3. A distributed network of Talent Partners

This allows us to:

• Move faster than traditional agencies

• Pay Talent Partners transparently

• Avoid duplicated work and internal competition

---

Step 1: Roles come onto the platform

TechTree works directly with:

• Startups

• Scaleups

• VC-backed companies

When a company starts hiring:

• We calibrate the role

• Define candidate criteria

• Set success fees and guarantees

• Load the role into the platform

Only real, active roles appear in TechTree.

---

Step 2: Talent Partners get matched to work

Based on your:

• Geography

• Experience

• Preferences

• Opt-ins (automation, screening, referrals)

You may be matched to a role in one or more ways:

• Automated outreach

• Manual referrals

• Candidate screening

There is no obligation to do everything.

---

Step 3: Candidates enter the system

Candidates can enter TechTree via:

• Automated LinkedIn outreach (AI-led)

• Manual referrals from your network

• Direct sourcing by TechTree

Once a candidate is in TechTree:

• The platform prevents duplicate outreach

• Ownership is tracked automatically

• All activity is visible in your dashboard

This removes internal competition and guesswork.

Step 4: You contribute where it matters

Depending on how you work with us, you may:

Engage candidates

• Reply to interested candidates

• Answer basic questions

• Guide them through next steps

Refer candidates

• Submit people you already know

• Confirm interest

• Upload CVs or profiles

Screen candidates (optional)

• Run short, structured interviews

• Capture notes in TechTree

• Help clients assess quality earlier

You never:

• Pitch clients

• Negotiate fees

• Chase hiring managers

---

Step 5: TechTree runs delivery

Once a candidate is submitted:

• TechTree owns client communication

• We manage interviews and feedback

• We handle scheduling and updates

• We run offers and close the hire

You can see progress at every stage in your dashboard.

Think of TechTree as:

Your ATS + delivery team

---

Step 6: Hiring happens, payments follow

When a candidate is hired:

• We notify you in the system

• We confirm fee structure

• We wait for guarantees to clear

• You invoice TechTree

• Payment is processed

No surprises. No hidden maths. No chasing invoices.

(Full details are in Payments & Earnings.)

The guiding principles

Everything in TechTree is built around:

• Transparency – you always know what’s happening

• Consent – nothing runs without opt-in

• Fairness – ownership is enforced by the system

• Focus – you spend time where it pays off

If something feels unclear:

• Pause

• Ask

• Or stop

Trust matters more than short-term output.
