ALTCHA's answer

What makes ALTCHA unique is that it is free, open-source and self-hosted, without external services, does not use cookies nor fingerprinting, does not track users, and is fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other captcha solutions, ALTCHA does not require users to solve puzzles or captchas and uses a proof-of-work mechanism instead.

Split Fee's answer:

Split Fee is the first purpose-built platform for split fee recruitment in the UK. Instead of relying on LinkedIn groups, WhatsApp messages, and manual agreements, agencies upload their candidates and vacancies and the platform automatically matches them across agencies.

Candidate identities are revealed gradually; anonymised at first, then progressively disclosed as both sides accept, so agencies can collaborate without the risk of circumvention.

ALTCHA's answer

Here are some key reasons why a person should choose ALTCHA over its competitors:

• Privacy compliance - ALTCHA is fully compliant with privacy regulations like GDPR since it does not use cookies, fingerprinting or track users. This is a major advantage over other captcha solutions.
• Open source and self-hosted - ALTCHA is free, open source software that can be self-hosted without relying on external services. This gives more control and independence to the user.
• Accessible design - ALTCHA uses a proof-of-work mechanism instead of puzzles or captchas, making it more friendly and accessible for humans. Captchas can be difficult for some users.
• Machine compatibility - ALTCHA is designed to also work for machines and APIs, making services accessible for bots and automated systems. Other solutions may not be as compatible.
• Modern approach - ALTCHA represents a privacy-first, inclusive approach to spam protection as opposed to traditional captcha methods. This future-proofs the solution.
• Effective spam filtering - In addition to proof-of-work, ALTCHA also offers an effective spam filter module to block sophisticated spam attacks. This provides comprehensive protection.

So in summary, ALTCHA's privacy compliance, open design, accessibility, machine compatibility and modern approach give it clear advantages over competing captcha solutions.

Split Fee's answer:

Most "split fee networks" are just directories or social groups where agencies post and hope someone responds. Split Fee is an actual matching engine. It scores candidate-vacancy pairs, handles the legal agreements (non-circumvention, self-billing), automates invoicing and fee splits, and manages the entire placement lifecycle from match to payment. Everything that normally requires trust, phone calls, and spreadsheets is handled by the platform.

Split Fee's answer:

UK recruitment agencies; from boutique firms with a handful of consultants to mid-sized agencies with specialist sector coverage. Any agency that has either strong candidates without the right vacancies, or client vacancies they can't fill from their own candidate pool. Split Fee turns those dormant assets into placements.

Split Fee's answer:

Abbie, our founder, knew that although split fee arrangements have existed in recruitment for decades, the process has always been manual: find a partner agency, negotiate terms, trust them with your candidate data, chase invoices. Most agencies avoid it because the overhead and risk outweigh the reward. Abbie built Split Fee to remove that friction entirely, with automated matching, progressive identity disclosure, built-in legal agreements, and automated billing, making split placements as straightforward as direct ones.
