Recruiter partner program
Partner questions.
How the program works, how payouts are calculated, and when you get paid.
What is the Recruiter Partner Program?
A way for independent recruiters and staffing agencies to work on roles that companies are hiring for on Sunday. You source candidates, submit them through Sunday, and earn a payout when one is hired.
How does the program work?
Companies post open roles on Sunday. You source candidates from your own channels, add them to Sunday, and assign each one to the jobs that fit. Candidates are notified as soon as you assign them a job, so only assign roles that are genuinely relevant. Irrelevant assignments spam candidates and hurt their experience.
Will Sunday give me access to job boards like Naukri, Indeed or Monster?
No. Sunday does not provide job board access or external sourcing tools. You use your own sourcing channels.
Is this a full-time job, a contract or freelance work?
It is a contractor arrangement. You are paid only when a candidate you referred joins the client. There is no fixed salary, no full-time contract and no sourcing support.
How much can I earn per successful hire?
Payouts vary by role and company, from $250 to $5,000 per hire. Some companies pay a fixed percentage instead. The exact payout for each job is shown at the top of the job listing.
What is Sunday's commission?
Sunday keeps about 30% of the total hiring fee as its platform commission. The payout you see on your dashboard is the net amount, after Sunday's fee.
Do I get paid for sourcing candidates too?
Yes. You earn $1 for every candidate who clears the AI or human round-1 interview.
When will I get paid?
Sourcing payouts ($1 per cleared interview) are paid every Thursday. If Thursday is a holiday, they roll over to the next Thursday. Hiring payouts are paid once the candidate completes 3 months at the client company.
I see the error "Candidate already added to this org and resume is still valid." What does it mean?
The candidate is already in Sunday, submitted by another recruiter, and that submission is still within its validity period. It is a duplicate and cannot be added again.
How long is a candidate I add valid for?
Every candidate you assign to a job is valid for 180 days (6 months) from the date of assignment. If another recruiter submits the same candidate within that period, you keep ownership.
How do I track my candidates' applications?
From your dashboard. Statuses update in real time. For anything specific, email us and we will help.
