Why should I work with recruiters through HuntByte?

Whether you are trying recruiter services for the first time or already work with recruitment agencies, HuntByte can reduce the cost and effort of managing those relationships:

  • One agreement for all platform recruiters: There is no need to evaluate and sign a separate agreement with each recruiter. After registering, you can work with any verified professional recruiter on the platform. Contact is free, and commission is due only after a successful hire completes the guarantee period.
  • You control the commission: Set different commission rates based on the urgency and seniority of each job. More competitive rates encourage recruiters to prioritize your openings.

How is the recruitment commission calculated?

HuntByte uses a dynamic commission model. When creating a job, you may set the commission rate above your plan's minimum based on factors such as urgency and seniority.
Commission amount = annual salary for the job × commission rate. For example, an annual salary of NT$1,000,000 at a 25% commission rate results in a commission of NT$250,000. Commission is charged only after the candidate starts work and completes the guarantee period. More competitive commission settings encourage recruiters to prioritize your opening.

How do I receive resumes?

After your job is published, recruiters on the platform can recommend candidates for it. Recommended resumes appear under Received Applications in your dashboard, and you will also receive a notification.

The job itself is the key to receiving high-quality applications. Complete job information, a competitive salary range, and an attractive commission setting encourage more recruiters to recommend suitable candidates.

Is there a fee to contact recruiters?

No. Contacting and speaking with any recruiter on the platform is free. HuntByte also prepares the agreement and payment services needed by both sides to make cooperation more secure.

The only payment required is the service commission calculated from the job's selected rate after the candidate starts work.

How do I apply to become a recruiter?

After registering and verifying your mobile number and email address, open Recruiter Services in your dashboard and select Apply for Recruiter Qualification. Complete the form and upload documents based on your situation:

  • You work for a recruitment or human-resources company: Select I already have employment-service qualifications and upload proof of employment or a business card.
  • You hold a Level B Employment Services Technician certificate: Select I have an employment-service certificate, provide the certificate, and sign the recruiter appointment agreement.
  • You do not hold a certificate but have a recruitment background: Select Help me obtain employment-service qualifications. HuntByte will assist with the qualification process, and you will sign an employment-service appointment agreement.

The application takes about five minutes. HuntByte will review and contact you within three business days. After approval, you can browse all available jobs and begin taking assignments.

How can HuntByte help me as an independent recruiter?

HuntByte helps independent recruiters with four of the most time-consuming parts of the job:

  1. Candidate sourcing: Quickly expand the number of candidates you can work with.
  2. Employer relationships: Begin working with multiple employers without going through separate evaluation processes or signing many individual agreements.
  3. Payments and documentation: HuntByte helps coordinate payments and the related documentation between you and employers.
  4. Qualification support: Receive assistance with employment-service qualifications so you can work with confidence.

How do I submit a candidate for a job?

After HuntByte approves your recruiter qualification, you can submit candidates for any job on the platform. Resumes can come from three sources:

  1. Job seekers who have matched with you.
  2. Candidates whose resumes you create with their consent.
  3. Job seekers to whom you send a matching request.

How do I contact candidates?

After receiving recruiter status, you can contact candidates whose profiles are open to search through HuntByte's messaging feature. A candidate's full contact information is available only after that person grants permission.

If another recruiter created the resume, contact the creator to discuss the next step in working together.

What is a Profile Card, and how is it different from a Business Card?

A Profile Card is a public card page created and managed by an individual. It can include contact details, company information, social profiles, and custom links. Business Card is managed by a company and adds employee card administration, a company directory, permissions, and contact handover. See Business Card features for team use.

How do I create or edit my Profile Card?

After signing in, open Profile Card Management to add or update your name, role, company, contact details, introduction, photo, and links. Your existing Profile Card URL and QR Code will show the latest saved information, so you do not need to share them again.

Does someone need an app or HuntByte account to view my Profile Card?

No. Anyone can open the Profile Card in a phone or desktop browser. A HuntByte account is only required when the viewer wants to save the Profile Card to HuntByte or use member features.
