Startupt's answer

We focus exclusively on startups, offering curated, high-quality tools and services at discounted prices, tailored to their specific needs and growth stages.

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.

Startupt's answer

We save startups time and money by handpicking essential tools, negotiating exclusive deals, and providing a one-stop platform for their operational needs.

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.

Startupt's answer

We use a mix of modern web technologies, including NextJS for both front and backend, and AWS for scalable infrastructure.

A next-generation serverless platform, built for AWS.

Startupt's answer

Early-stage startups, founders, and small teams looking for affordable, scalable solutions to grow their businesses efficiently.

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.

Startupt's answer

As a founder myself, I struggled to find affordable tools for my startup. I created Startupt to solve this problem for others, making it easier for startups to access what they need to succeed.

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.

Startupt's answer

We work with a wide range of startups, from solo founders to fast-growing teams in industries like SaaS, e-commerce, and fintech.
