Dealt vs
Traditional Recruiters.

Direct access to verified talent at a fraction of recruiter fees.

Context

Traditional recruiters take 15-25% of first-year salary. They know the market, but they're gatekeepers. You depend on their relationships, their judgment, their mood. Dealt removes the middleman. You get direct access to a pool of verified candidates—people who've proven their skills and work history. No commissions. No gatekeeping. No relationship dependency. Transparent pricing, better margins, faster hiring.

Dealt is built on verification. Real work history. Real references. Source-verified employment. That changes what shows up in your pipeline.

Why it matters

The difference is verification.

15-25% is gone

A recruiter placing someone at £80k takes £12-20k. Dealt is a flat rate per hire. You keep more, they keep more. Everyone wins except the middleman.

Transparency over relationships

Recruiters deal in relationships and information asymmetry. Dealt gives you the data. You see verified candidates, their skills, their work history. No black boxes.

Speed without gatekeeping

Recruiters are busy. Dealt candidates are available now. No waiting for them to get back to you. Direct access means you control your process, not them.

Verification that recruiters skip

Most recruiters don't verify employment or check references thoroughly. They move fast, take commission, move on. Dealt verifies everyone. You get candidates recruiters wouldn't bother with, because we know they're real.
