Version 2 | 12 June 2026

A huge amount of how Jack and Jill have grown has come from warm introductions - founders telling other founders, talent leads recommending us to their network. We've never had a proper way to reward that. This is us fixing that.

These terms exist to make sure everyone knows how it works and what to expect. We've tried to keep them simple.

Who can join

Anyone with a Jack and Jill account can take part - candidates, hiring companies, and affiliates who join the Friends of Jack & Jill program without being either. We reserve the right to accept, pause, or remove any partner at any time - but we'll always try to do right by people who've been genuinely helpful. Current employees and contractors of Tinker Tailor Talent Ltd are not eligible to participate in the Friends of Jack and Jill partner program unless explicitly authorised in writing by a director of the company.

How you earn

You earn 20% of the fee Jill charges every time an introduction you make leads to a confirmed hire. That's 20% of our fee - not 20% of the candidate's salary.

You can introduce both sides of the marketplace:

• Refer a company - you earn on every hire that company makes through Jack and Jill during your commission window
• Refer a candidate - you earn when that candidate is placed in their first role through Jack and Jill during your commission window

You only earn on confirmed placements - when a candidate starts in a role, or when a hire is verified on the company side.

What makes an introduction valid

For an introduction to count, three things need to be true:

• The company or candidate you introduced had no prior relationship with Jack and Jill - meaning they weren't already a user, in conversation with us, or contacted by us in the last 90 days
• They take an affirmative action after your introduction - they click your link and sign up, or reply to Jack or Jill and sign up. A CC or a link share on its own doesn't qualify
• No other partner has already introduced them

We keep a list of existing users and active pipeline. If your introduction matches someone already on it, it won't qualify. You won't be able to query the list, but you're welcome to ask us before making an introduction if you're unsure.

When a referral becomes qualified

For companies: the referred company signs up and lists at least one active role with Jill. For candidates: the referred candidate signs up and completes their Jack profile. We confirm this automatically and let you know. You don't need to do anything.

Attribution

First qualified introduction wins. Whoever made the first valid, qualified introduction owns the commission for 12 months from that date. If two partners introduce the same company or candidate, the earlier timestamp wins.

A company referral is attributed when the first person from that company signs up to Jill. From that point, you earn 20% on every hire they make for the next 12 months. A candidate referral is attributed independently - if one person you introduce signs up as both a candidate and a company, each side follows its own attribution.

Our decision on attribution is final.

Your commission window

12 months from the date the introduced person made their Jack&Jill account. For company referrals, you earn on placements that company makes within the window. For candidate referrals, you earn on the candidate's first placement through Jack and Jill within the window. Placements after that don't attract commission, regardless of when you made the intro.

Getting paid

Payouts land 90 days after the candidate's employment contract starts. We reserve the right to extend this to 180 days as the program matures - we'll always give you notice before we do.

Any single payout above $5,000 is held for a quick human review before we release it. We'll let you know if there's a delay.

Tax is your responsibility. We'll provide any documentation required by law - including W-9 and 1099-NEC forms for US partners earning over $600 a year.

Clawback

If a placement unwinds during probation, the commission is clawed back. If we haven't paid out yet, we cancel it. If we have, we deduct it from future earnings. Direct invoice is always a last resort.

This applies even if the candidate and company part ways by mutual agreement. For senior placements with longer probation periods, we may extend the clawback window - we'll tell you if that applies.

What gets you removed

We want this to be a program people are proud to be part of. The following will result in immediate removal and clawback of any commissions paid:

• Coordinating with a referred party to manufacture or speed up a referral
• Providing false information at any point
• Anything we consider fraudulent or contrary to the spirit of what we're building

Our decision is final.

Conflicts of interest

If you refer a company you have a material interest in - as an employee, founder, investor or advisor - you are responsible for ensuring that referral complies with any applicable internal policies or conflict of interest obligations. Jack and Jill accepts no liability for referrals that breach third party agreements. Failure to disclose a material interest at the point of referral may result in removal from the program and clawback of any commissions paid.

Data and privacy

When you introduce someone to us, it's your responsibility to make sure you have the right to share their details. We process that data in line with our Privacy Policy.

When you CC us on an intro email, Jill will reach out directly to the person you've introduced. They need to respond and sign up before we process anything further.

If our pricing changes

You'll always earn 20% of whatever revenue your introductions generate. If our pricing model evolves, your share doesn't change. You win when we win.

If we end your participation

We can end your participation at any time. You'll still be paid commission on placements confirmed before that point. Introductions that hadn't yet converted won't be paid out.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

A final note

Partner commission is calculated as 20% of the placement fee actually charged by Jack & Jill for that hire. Where a placement is made under a promotional offer, free hire credit, committed plan, or any arrangement where no placement fee is charged, no commission is payable on that placement. Jack & Jill reserves the right to determine which fee structure applies to any given placement.

Jack & Jill reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate these terms or the program at any time. Where possible we will give reasonable notice of material changes. Introductions made before any change will be honoured under the terms in place at the time they were made. Our decision on all matters relating to commission, attribution and fee structure is final.
