Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you create your free profile.
Create My Free Profile How do recruiters get paid on OnJob?
+
OnJob is a pay-per-shortlist recruiter marketplace. You earn ₹500–2,000 every time a candidate you submit is shortlisted by a client — credited to your wallet instantly the moment the shortlist is confirmed. Your payment is completely independent of whether the candidate is finally hired, receives an offer, joins, or stays, which makes recruiting on OnJob genuinely risk-free.
Do I get paid even if the candidate isn't hired?
+
Yes. The earning event is the shortlist, not the hire. As soon as a client moves your candidate to their shortlist you are paid, regardless of the final hire, offer release, joining date, or retention period. You never wait on outcomes outside your control.
How much does it cost to source candidates and post jobs?
+
Posting jobs is 100% free with no posting fees, hidden charges, or visibility restrictions. Sourcing from the OnJob Talent Repository can be up to 90× cheaper than traditional portals — there are no expensive subscriptions, no credit expiry, and no forced upgrades. You can also earn credits by inviting candidates and spend them to unlock profiles or run outreach.
How do invite credits work?
+
You earn 1 credit every time a candidate builds a profile through your unique invite link. Credits can be used to unlock verified profiles from the Talent Repository or to run email outreach campaigns. Inviting more candidates means more credits, which means more sourcing power and more shortlists you can win — a compounding loop.
Who can join OnJob as a recruiter?
+
Independent recruiters, solo sourcers, freelance talent-acquisition professionals, HR consultants, hiring advisors, and staffing or recruitment agencies are all welcome — anyone with access to quality candidates. To receive payouts you need a complete, verified profile plus PAN and KYC, and you're expected to maintain quality submissions and follow the platform's hiring guidelines.
