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.

Simpro's answer

Choose Simpro if you need an end-to-end field service platform built for trade contractors rather than a generic work-management tool. Simpro supports estimating, quoting, scheduling, dispatching, mobile work, job documentation, asset maintenance, invoicing, payments, reporting, business intelligence, customer engagement, and operational growth.

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.

Simpro's answer

Simpro is built for residential and commercial trade contractors, field service companies, technicians, office teams, operations leaders, and business owners. Core industries include electrical, fire protection, HVAC, plumbing, security, commercial service, residential service, project work, and asset maintenance.

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.

Simpro's answer

Simpro was founded in 2002 after an electrical business owner and a software engineering student set out to build software that worked for the trades in the field and in the office. Today, Simpro is a global AI-first operating system and field service management software platform, led by Chairman and CEO Fred Voccola, and is part of the Simpro Group portfolio with AroFlo, BigChange, and ClockShark.

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.
