Split Fee is a platform for UK recruitment agencies to collaborate on permanent placements.
Every agency has candidates they can't place and vacancies they can't fill. Another agency almost certainly has what you need โ but finding them, trusting them, and making the collaboration work has always been the hard part.
Split Fee solves this. Post your candidates and vacancies to the platform. Our matching algorithm finds opportunities across every agency on the network โ by skills, location, salary, and seniority. Candidate and client data stays anonymised until both sides agree to work together. When a placement is made, we handle the fee split and invoicing automatically.
No more posting in social media groups and hoping someone replies. No more sharing candidate details with strangers on trust alone. No more chasing invoices from agencies you barely know.
45% for you. 45% for them. 10% platform fee โ only when a placement is made.
Half of a placement fee is infinitely better than none of it.
Unbench is a B2B hiring platform designed to make tech recruitment faster, smarter, and more affordable. Instead of reaching out to multiple recruiting agencies separately, companies can post a request once and receive pre-vetted candidates from a network of trusted recruiting companies and outsourcing partners.
Our fixed-fee pricing removes the guesswork from hiring costs, helping businesses save up to 40% compared to traditional agencies while reducing time-to-hire. Whether you need full-time employees, contract specialists, or subcontracting solutions, Unbench ensures high-quality matches without long-term commitments.
With a focus on speed, transparency, and flexibility, Unbench helps growing companies and scaleups quickly access top tech talentโeliminating lengthy hiring cycles and making recruitment simple, efficient, and cost-effective.

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.
Unbench's answer:
One Request, Multiple Agencies โ Instead of working with one recruiting agency at a time, Unbench connects you with 20+ vetted agencies at once, delivering pre-screened candidates faster and more efficiently.
Fixed-Fee Hiring โ Unlike traditional agencies that charge a percentage of salary, Unbench offers a clear, fixed-fee model, helping companies save up to 40% on hiring costs without hidden fees or unexpected expenses.
Full-Time & Subcontracting in One Place โ Whether you need permanent employees or short-term specialists, Unbench helps you hire for direct roles, contract positions, or subcontracting solutionsโall in one platform.
Faster Time-to-Hire โ By leveraging our network of agencies and pre-vetted talent pools, Unbench significantly reduces time-to-hire, ensuring businesses get top candidates in days, not weeks.
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.
Unbench's answer:
Unbench offers a faster, more cost-effective way to hire by connecting you with 20+ vetted recruiting agencies through a single request. Unlike traditional agencies, we provide pre-screened candidates at a fixed fee, saving you up to 40% on hiring costs with no hidden fees or long-term commitments. Whether you need full-time hires or subcontractors, Unbench delivers top talent in days, not weeks.
Split Fee's answer

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.
Unbench's answer:
Unbench was born out of a real hiring problemโcompanies needed skilled tech talent fast, but traditional hiring processes were slow, expensive, and inefficient.
Many businesses struggled to find the right recruiting agencies, negotiate fair terms, and get quality candidates without long hiring cycles. At the same time, many top-tier specialists sat on the bench in outsourcing companies, waiting for their next project.
