Transparent Pricing.
No Hidden Fees.
Sorcrr charges a fraction of what traditional platforms take. Whether you're hiring talent or selling services, you always know exactly what you're paying.
How Hiring Pricing Works
The employer pays 25% of one month’s salary. The employee is invited to contribute 25% as well — but can opt out and request the employer cover it, or decline entirely. When both contribute, the full bounty goes to referrers. When only the employer pays, the fee is split between platform and referrers.
Three Scenarios
Employer 25% → Sorcrr • Employee 25% → Full bounty to referrers
Maximum referral incentive. Referrers see the full bounty amount on the job card.
Employer pays 50% total → Sorcrr 25% + Full bounty to referrers
Same full bounty. Employee pays nothing. Employer absorbs both contributions.
Employer 25% → Sorcrr takes first node (50%) + Referrers split remaining 50%
Reduced bounty. Sorcrr enters the geometric chain as the first node, referrers split the rest via half-life.
Where the Money Goes
When employee opts out: employer’s 25% splits between Sorcrr (first node) and referrers
~2% of annual salary per party — Traditional recruiters charge 15–25% of annual salary. Sorcrr charges 25% of one month. When both contribute, half goes right back to the community that made the hire happen. When only the employer pays, the cost stays the same — referrers just earn a smaller bounty.
Bounty Distribution
The bounty is distributed to referrers using a geometric half-life model. Referrers closest to the candidate earn the most. Maximum chain depth is 5.
- Closest referrer receives 50% of the bounty pool
- Next referrer receives 50% of the remainder
- Pattern continues — each step halves the remaining pool
- Last referrer in the chain receives the final remainder
- When employee opts out: Sorcrr becomes the first node (50%), referrers split the other 50%
- Minimum payout: $50 per referrer
- Stripe payout fee: 0.25% + $0.25 (deducted from each payout)
Hiring Cost Calculator
How Market Pricing Works
Providers set their own prices and bounty percentages. The platform takes a small cut and passes Stripe fees through transparently.
Where the Money Goes
Provider sets bounty percentage • No bounty on direct bookings
Minimum Bounty — All 16 Industries
Providers choose their bounty percentage (what % of the sale goes to the referral pool). One simple minimum across every industry. Higher bounties attract more referrals and visibility.
Maximum bounty: 50% • Default: 20%
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Stripe does not return processing fees on refunds (2.9% + $0.30). This non-refundable cost is passed through to the party that triggers the cancellation — the platform never absorbs it.
This is industry standard — Airbnb, Uber, and all major marketplaces operate the same way. Stripe refund docs →

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the employee actually pay?
After accepting an offer, the employee is invited to contribute 25% of their final monthly salary (Net-30). This is optional — the employee can opt out and request the employer cover it. If both decline, only the employer’s 25% applies, and the bounty for referrers is reduced. When the employee contributes, 100% of that contribution goes to the referrers who helped make the connection.
-
Is there a subscription or monthly fee?
No. Sorcrr has no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no hidden costs. You pay per placement (Hiring) or per transaction (Market) only.
-
What if the final salary differs from the posted range?
If the final negotiated salary differs by more than 10% from the posted average, a reconciliation process adjusts the fees. Underpayments are invoiced and overpayments are credited to your account.
-
How does bounty distribution work?
When the employee contributes, the full 25% bounty goes entirely to referrers via geometric half-life — closest referrer gets 50%, next gets 50% of the remainder, last gets the rest. When the employee opts out and the employer declines to cover it, the employer’s 25% is split: Sorcrr takes the first node (50%) and referrers split the remaining 50%. Maximum chain depth is 5.
-
What if there's no referral?
For Market: direct bookings with no referral chain only incur the 8% platform fee and Stripe processing. No bounty is deducted. For Hiring: the referral network is core to the platform, but employers can also post jobs without bounties.
-
Can providers set any bounty percentage?
Providers choose their bounty from 20–50% across all 16 industries. One flat minimum keeps it simple. Higher bounties attract more referrals and visibility.
-
Are Stripe fees included in the percentages shown?
No. Stripe processing fees (2.9% + $0.30) and payout fees (0.25% + $0.25) are separate and passed through at cost. Sorcrr does not add any markup to Stripe's fees. You can verify this on Stripe's pricing page.
-
How do I receive payouts?
Payouts are processed via Stripe Connect. You'll complete a one-time onboarding to verify your identity and link your bank account. Standard payouts (2 business days) are free. Instant payouts (1% fee) are available where supported by Stripe.
