Split Fee's answer:

A next-generation serverless platform, built for AWS.

Unit Index's answer

Unit Index gives measurements a visual meaning. For example, if someone looks up 40 feet, they might see how that compares to a school bus, a telephone pole, a shipping container, or another familiar object.

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.

Unit Index's answer

Unit Index is built for quick understanding. Instead of leaving users with a number, it shows what that number feels like in the real world. A student, writer, or curious reader can type a measurement and quickly picture the scale.

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.

Unit Index's answer

The main audience is students, teachers, writers, researchers, and curious people who need to understand measurements visually. It is useful for anyone asking questions like “How big is 100 feet?” or “What does 2 acres actually look like?”

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.

Unit Index's answer

Unit Index came from the idea that measurements are often technically clear but hard to picture. The site was built to make scale easier to understand by turning numbers into concrete visual references.

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.

Unit Index's answer
