Turn your team into your recruiting team.

Join as a company and we'll set up your profile, first role, and bounty.
How hiring works
From open role to signed hire, in three moves.
The leverage of an entire network, with the simplicity of paying only for results.
01Post a role, set a bounty.
Publish an opening in minutes. Attach a cash bounty for a successful hire — and let our pricing engine suggest the right amount for the role and market.
02Your network does the sourcing.
Your team and the wider Polaris community refer people they'd actually vouch for. Vetted, warm candidates land in your pipeline — not a flood of cold applies.
03Only pay when you hire.
The bounty sits safely in escrow and is released only when a referred candidate is hired. No hire, no fee. No long retainers, no agency markup.
Everything you need to hire
A full hiring stack, not just a job post.
Sourcing, screening, pipeline, branding, and analytics — in one place.
Referral bounties that get filled
Put real money behind a role and turn every employee and connection into a recruiter. Bounties are funded up front via secure Stripe escrow and split fairly across everyone who helped.
Warmer candidates, smarter screening
Referred applicants come with built-in trust. AI fit scoring ranks candidate quality, and custom screening questions filter for what actually matters before you spend a minute reviewing.
A hiring dashboard that earns its keep
Track views, applications, and conversion funnels by role, department, and location. See your live hiring-weather momentum, benchmark against the market, and export it all to CSV.
Manage the whole pipeline
Move candidates through your stages, leave internal notes, and rate applicants as a team. Every application keeps its full timeline and screening answers in one place.
A company profile that sells you
Build a branded profile with your culture, benefits, and locations, then publish news and announcements that keep you on candidates' radar between roles.
Featured listings when you need reach
Boost a priority role to the top of the candidate feed with a Featured badge to pull in volume fast — on a simple one-time fee, whenever you need it.
Only pay for results
No retainers. No agency fees. No hire, no bill.
Recruiters charge 20–30% of salary whether or not it works out. On Polaris you set a bounty, it stays in escrow, and it's released only when a referred candidate is hired — split fairly among the people who made it happen.

For hiring teams
Questions from hiring teams.
How the money works, how it compares to agencies, and how to start.
- How much does it cost to hire on Polaris?
- There are no retainers or subscriptions to post roles. You set a referral bounty per hire, and it's only released from escrow when you actually make a hire. Optional featured listings are a simple one-time fee when you want extra reach.
- How are referral bounties paid out?
- You fund the bounty up front through secure Stripe escrow. When a referred candidate is hired, the bounty is released and split fairly among everyone who helped make the introduction. If you don't hire, you don't pay the bounty.
- How is this different from a recruiting agency?
- No 20–30% agency fees, no exclusivity, and no waiting on a single recruiter. You tap thousands of professionals' networks at once, set your own bounty, and only pay on a successful hire — with warm, referred candidates instead of cold applicants.
- What's the AI bounty suggestion?
- When you fund a bounty, Polaris suggests an amount calibrated to the role's seniority, salary, and current market signals — so you're competitive enough to get referrals without overpaying.
- Can I manage applicants and my team in one place?
- Yes. Review applications with AI fit scoring, move candidates through your hiring stages, leave internal notes, and rate applicants together. You also get a full analytics dashboard with hiring-weather momentum and conversion funnels.
- How do we get started?
- Join the waitlist as a company. We'll set you up with a company profile, your first job post, and a referral bounty so you can start receiving warm, referred candidates.
