GADEN PARTNER HUB · POWERED BY AEL

No signed contract, no split to claim.

Who are you splitting with right now? Is there paper? What is stuck, in both directions? When did you last speak? And is this flowing two ways, or are you quietly giving away candidates?

THE PAPER · THE MONEY · THE PULSE · THE WORK · THE READ

THE ORDER OF THE SCREEN IS THE ORDER OF THE RISK

Five questions your desk cannot answer today.

All of it already exists — scattered across placements, job orders, and one person’s memory. This is where it gets gathered and counted.

01

The paper

Is the split agreement actually signed? It comes first because everything after it is unenforceable without it. A handshake split is a donation with extra steps.

02

The money

What is stuck, in both directions — what they owe you and what you owe them. Most desks can only answer one half of that, and it is usually the wrong half.

03

The pulse

Silence and imbalance. A partner you have not spoken to in four months, or one who has taken six candidates and sent back one, is a problem with no invoice attached.

04

The work

What is live with them right now — which roles, which candidates, which direction the split runs on each one.

05

The read

Where you compete, where you complement each other, and what to ask them for next. Written out, not left to be inferred.

06

The terms, on file

Their share, payment terms, candidate ownership and territory — recorded per partner, so nobody has to remember what was agreed in a call last spring.

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

What it sounds like.

THE BALANCE

Is this a partnership or a donation?

They bring, we bring. Counted rather than remembered, because the side that is giving more is almost never the side that feels like it is.

YOUHow is the partnership with them actually going?
GADENOne-directional. You have sent them candidates repeatedly this year and taken far fewer back. Split revenue booked is well under what you have fed in. Nothing is broken — but this is not a partnership yet, it is a supply line. Worth naming on the next call.

THE PAPER

The unsigned split is the expensive one.

A split arrangement with no signed agreement holds up perfectly until the day it matters. Then it does not, and the fee is gone.

YOUWhich partners have no signed agreement?
GADENTwo — and one of them has live work with you right now, on a role heading into final stage. If that places, the split is a conversation rather than a claim. Paper it before the offer goes out, not after.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK

The short answers.

How do I manage split placements with other agencies?

Each partnership gets a file ordered by risk: whether the agreement is signed, what money is stuck in each direction, whether the relationship has gone quiet or one-sided, what work is live right now, and a written read on the relationship. The split terms — their share, payment terms, candidate ownership and territory — are recorded per partner rather than remembered.

Why does the signed agreement come first?

Because a split with no paper is unenforceable, and every other question about that partnership is academic until it is signed. It holds up right until the moment it matters, and then the fee is simply gone. The screen puts it first so it cannot be skipped.

How do I know if a partnership is one-sided?

What they bring and what we bring are counted, not recalled. A partner who has taken six of your candidates and sent one back is a problem that generates no invoice and therefore never surfaces on its own — which is exactly why it needs a number against it.

Can I track money owed in both directions?

Yes. What a partner owes you and what you owe them are both tracked. Most desks can only answer one half of that question, and it is usually the receivable half, which means the payable half turns up as a surprise.

What is candidate ownership in a split agreement?

Whose candidate is whose when the same person is in both databases, and who gets credited if they place. It is one of the most common sources of a dispute between agencies, which is why it belongs in the recorded terms rather than in a memory of a phone call.

PART OF THE LOOP

One stage of something bigger.

Partners are how the loop reaches beyond your own desk. It is one module of an Autonomous Employee Loop — the system that runs sourcing, screening, presenting, interviewing, placing, onboarding and payment as one continuous loop. An ATS tracks the process. An AEL runs it.
