About RoleHawk

What the platform is - and what it isn't.

What is RoleHawk?
RoleHawk is a platform that connects European companies with vetted specialist recruiters - through one agreement, not one contract per agency. You post a role, approve which recruiters can work it, and review AI-scored candidates from a single dashboard.
How is this different from a job board?
Job boards are passive - you post and hope. RoleHawk is active sourcing: specialist recruiters with domain expertise work your role from day one, competing to find your person first. No unfiltered applications, no CV piles.
How is this different from a traditional recruitment agency?
A traditional agency means a new contract, a new relationship, and a new learning curve every time you need a different specialism. With RoleHawk, one master agreement gives you access to every recruiter on the platform, in every market - and you track candidates, feedback, and pipeline stage from a single dashboard instead of scattered email threads.
Is RoleHawk a recruitment agency?
No. RoleHawk is a marketplace. We don't recruit for you directly - we give you access to a curated network of independent specialist recruiters who compete to fill your role, under terms you control.

Pricing & guarantee

What you pay, when, and what's covered.

How much does it cost?
Employers pay a monthly fee for each active role, based on the seniority of the position, plus a placement fee when a hire is made. There's no cost if no one is hired.
What happens if a hire doesn't work out?
You're covered by our 90-day replacement guarantee - we run a full replacement search at no additional cost. How the guarantee works
Do I need a new contract for every recruiter I work with?
No. You sign one master agreement, once. It covers every recruiter you choose to work with, in every market, for every future role.

Coverage & tools

Markets, timelines, and the stack behind it.

How fast can I expect to hire?
Most roles are filled in under 45 days. Timelines vary by role, seniority, and market, but RoleHawk is designed to help you reach qualified, pre-vetted candidates faster.
Which countries do you cover?
We currently cover the EU and the UK, with more markets being added as our recruiter network grows.
Is my company's data secure?
Yes. RoleHawk is built with data privacy and security in mind, with GDPR-compliant data processing and processes designed to support EU AI Act compliance. We can also provide the relevant documentation and support for enterprise security and procurement reviews.
