πŸ“‹ General Questions

What exactly is Curify?

Curify is the first Belgian IT recruitment platform that connects freelancers and companies directly, without parasitic intermediaries. We replace the archaic model of infinite monthly commissions with a one-time commission paid at placement.

In short: You work directly together. We facilitate the meeting. That's it.


How does Curify make money if you don't take monthly commissions?

Excellent question! We charge a one-time commission to the company when placing the freelancer. This commission is calculated to be paid back by the employer in 3 months maximum.

After that? Nothing more. Zero monthly commission. The freelancer works for the company, not for us.


Is Curify really free for freelancers?

Yes, 100%.

  • Free registration
  • No hidden fees
  • No subscription
  • No commission on your salary

You receive 100% of what the company pays for you. Period.


Are you really different from other agencies?

πŸ’Ό Questions for Freelancers

How can I register?

Simple as can be:

  1. Click on "Submit my CV"
  2. Fill in your profile (2 minutes)
  3. Our team contacts you when a mission matches your profile

No formatted CV required. No cover letter. Just your skills and preferences.


How long before receiving proposals?

It depends on your profile and available missions. On average:

  • In-demand profiles (Java, .NET, React, DevOps): 1-2 weeks
  • More specialized profiles: 2-4 weeks
  • Very niche profiles: we'll honestly tell you if opportunities are rare

Important: We don't spam. You only receive missions that truly match your profile.


Can I refuse a proposed mission?

Absolutely. And without any consequences.

We present you with the opportunity with all the details. You decide if you're interested. No pressure. No judgment. Your time is valuable.


How are you paid if it's free for freelancers?

The company pays us a one-time commission when you sign the contract. This commission is completely independent of your salary.

Concrete example:

  • Your negotiated daily rate: €600/day
  • What you receive each month: €600 Γ— 22 days = €13,200
  • What we receive: €0 after placement

What happens if I'm already on a mission?

You can still create your profile! We'll only contact you when your current mission is approaching its end, or if an exceptional opportunity arises.

You can also put your profile on "pause" whenever you want.


Can I negotiate my salary directly with the company?

Yes! It's even encouraged.

Unlike agencies that negotiate behind your back to maximize their margin, at Curify you discuss directly with the company. Total transparency on conditions.


Is there a one-month payment delay like with agencies?

No. You get paid normally from the first month.

Agencies traditionally use your money for 30 days for their cash flow. We don't do that. You work, you get paid. It's that simple.


🏒 Questions for Companies

How much does Curify cost for a company?

We charge a one-time commission at placement, calculated based on the recruited profile. This commission typically equals 1-2 months of margin that a traditional agency would have taken.

Concrete example:

  • Traditional agency: €150/day Γ— 12 months = €36,000 the first year (and every following year)
  • Curify: One-time commission of €6,000-8,000 depending on the profile

ROI: 3 months maximum. After that, it's 100% savings.


How do you guarantee candidate quality?

We have a multi-level validation process:

βœ… Automated screening: elimination of unqualified profiles
βœ… Manual validation: our team checks every CV
βœ… Algorithmic matching: mission/candidate compatibility
βœ… Technical experts: participation in interviews if desired
βœ… 3-month guarantee: satisfied or replaced for free

We have more to lose than you if it doesn't work out.


What happens if the freelancer doesn't fit?

"Satisfied or Replaced" guarantee for 3 months.

If the freelancer doesn't meet your expectations during the first 3 months, we replace them for free. No additional fees. No questions asked.

Why 3 months? That's our payback period. After that, you don't owe us anything anyway.


Do you have enough candidates in our tech stack?

Our pool grows every day. The most requested technologies currently:

Backend: Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, PHP
Frontend: React, Angular, Vue.js
Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin
DevOps: Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Azure, Terraform
Data: SQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Data Engineering

If you're looking for a very specific profile, contact us directly. We'll honestly tell you if we can help.


Can I interview candidates before deciding?

Of course! It's even mandatory.

We facilitate the connection, but you decide who you recruit. You can:

  • Conduct as many interviews as necessary
  • Ask all your technical questions
  • Request help from one of our technical experts during the interview
  • Refuse a candidate without justification

How does commission payment work?

Total transparency:

  1. You sign the contract with the freelancer
  2. We send you an invoice for the one-time commission
  3. You pay according to agreed terms (usually 30 days)
  4. That's it. You never owe us anything more for this freelancer

No automatic monthly deductions. No hidden fees. One invoice, one payment, done.


Can I become a preferred partner?

Absolutely! We're actively looking for partner companies.

Partner benefits:

  • Preferential rates on placements
  • Priority access to new talents
  • Feature co-creation
  • Free training for your HR teams
