Three founder-friendly ways to access recruitment support when cash, equity, or commercial flexibility matters.
Recruitment support in exchange for software or platform access that Spinwell can genuinely use, such as HR technology, applicant tracking systems, AI tools, or analytics platforms.
Recruitment support in exchange for a modest equity position or a share of future profits, subject to due diligence, valuation review (where equity is involved), and formal legal documentation. This model is considered selectively for high-potential early-stage companies.
For equity-only roles, Spinwell's flat fee still applies because the search, screening, shortlist, and post-placement support remain the same. The fee is agreed upfront before work begins.
No hidden mechanics. What we give. What we get. What you need to bring.
| Model | Cash position | Spinwell receives |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Swap | No direct placement fee, subject to agreed value | Approved software or platform access |
| Sweat Equity & Profit Share | No direct placement fee, subject to due diligence | Agreed equity position or profit share |
| Equity-only role | Flat fee applies | Agreed flat fee |
If Spinwell takes equity or a share of future profits and we find the person, our flat fee still applies where no salary is involved. Honest, agreed upfront no surprises.
Equity and profit-share terms are reviewed case by case and depend on stage, valuation (where equity is involved), role scope, commercial value, and due diligence. Any arrangement must be formally documented before work begins.
Yes. Hybrid arrangements may be considered where they make commercial sense. The structure, value, and obligations are agreed in writing before the search begins.
