Commission starts after the client pays.
It is calculated on placement fees assigned to you once ClearPath receives the
client's payment. Payment follows the fixed schedule in the written commission
terms, with year-to-date true-ups to prevent double payment.
The ClearPath AI-native stack
Custom CRM. Shared memory. Your own agent.
This is not a chatbot tab sitting beside a generic ATS.
We built our recruiting CRM and agent-first workflows around how ClearPath actually operates. Each recruiter gets a dedicated agent connected to one shared memory that grows from the work and learnings of the whole team.
A dedicated agent built around you
Alfred works with Axel. Elvis works with Julie. You get the next dedicated agent, built from the same architecture, shaped around your desk and able to run recurring workflows without rebuilding context from zero.
Memory that compounds across the team
Useful calls, decisions, outcomes and learnings strengthen the same company memory. Your agent starts with ClearPath context and grows as we work.
One shared intelligence. One agent per recruiter.

The operating proof
Small team. Real billings.

Average annual billings over the past four years.
Started his own agency with less than three years in recruitment.
Julie Algoet

Average annual billings after roughly two years.
Hunger, humility, candidate care, reps and trust in the process.
Founder transparency
I learned this the hard way.
Most people made money. Placements happened.
Long term, I had not built enough structure as a founder.
I changed direction too often and asked people to absorb the cost.
What is different this time
01One deliberate hire
02Written compensation
03Clear niche and operating rhythm
04Axel and Julie keep billing beside you
I still do not know everything. I will communicate directly and own my mistakes.
The filter
Strong recruiters do not need more layers.
They need more leverage.

Straight answers
Before we talk.
Do I earn commission on the first placement?
Yes. You earn 5% on the first placement fee assigned to you once the client pays ClearPath. Higher rates apply only to fees inside each band.
Does 50% apply to all my fees?
No. It is a marginal rate. In a full plan year, each yen above JPY 20M pays at 50%. Fees below JPY 20M keep the rate of the band they sit within.
How do shared placements pay?
Client side: when Axel or Julie places into a client relationship assigned to you, you receive 10% of the client-paid fee. Candidate side: when we place a candidate you own, the fee runs through your progressive plan even if you did not close it. Candidate ownership lasts for three months after your last meaningful contact. If both sides are yours and another team member closes, both credits apply.
Is this a recoverable draw?
No. The base is guaranteed. Missing a billing target does not create employee debt to ClearPath.
What happens if I join in August?
Your first plan period runs from August through December. Salary and both thresholds are prorated to five active months. Full annual bands begin on the following January 1.
When is commission paid?
After ClearPath receives the client's payment, on the fixed schedule set out in the written commission terms. Each payment uses a year-to-date true-up: commission earned so far minus commission already paid in that calendar year. The final schedule and calculation method are confirmed in the employment and commission documents.
What is the base salary?
Competitive and negotiated by experience, production history, relationships and fit. Use your own assumption in the calculator.
What are the formal employment terms?
This is a permanent, fully remote role for someone based in Japan, with visa sponsorship considered where eligible. Before a formal application moves forward, we provide written details covering duties, working hours, holidays, probation, overtime and the possible scope of changes to duties or place of work. The signed employment documents control.
