These are the terms for hiring someone through HyprStart. They apply to employers. If you are a candidate, nothing here costs you anything, our Terms of Service cover you.
We find and screen skilled trades candidates, match them to your shop, and introduce you. We are not a staffing agency, a labor contractor, or an employer of record. The person you hire is your employee. Hiring decisions, background checks, work authorization verification, licensing checks, supervision, safety training, wages, and all employment terms are yours.
The first time you unlock a candidate's identity, we charge $50 to verify your payment method and keep it securely on file with our payment processor. This happens once per shop, not once per candidate. After that, unlocking additional candidates costs nothing.
The $50 is credited in full toward your first placement fee. If you never hire anyone through HyprStart, it is not refunded. It covers access to candidate contact details.
One exception: some candidates review each request before their details are released. If the candidate you unlocked declines your request, we refund the $50 in full, because you paid for access you did not get.
The placement fee for each candidate is shown to you before you unlock them, and it is locked at that amount for that introduction. It does not change later.
The fee is due only when you hire someone we introduced. There is no fee to view a candidate, interview them, or decide they are not a fit. When you confirm a hire, we charge the fee to your card on file, less the $50 credit if you have not used it yet.
The fee is owed if you hire a candidate we introduced to you within 12 months of that introduction. This holds regardless of how the hire is finalized, including if the candidate applies to you directly afterward, is referred by someone else, is hired into a different role, or is engaged as a contractor before being brought on as an employee.
You agree to tell us when you hire someone we introduced. Both you and the candidate can confirm a hire, and we ask both sides.
If someone you hired through HyprStart stops working for you within 30 days of their start date, we will find you a replacement at no additional placement fee.
This covers the candidate quitting, being terminated for cause, or never showing up to start.
We may offer a refund instead of a replacement or credit, at our discretion. That is a judgment call we make case by case, not something these terms entitle you to.
Charges go to the card you verified, using our payment processor. We do not see or store your full card number. If a charge fails, we will contact you to sort it out, and the fee remains owed.
Candidate contact details are shared with you for the purpose of hiring for your own shop. Do not resell, republish, or pass them to another employer. Some candidates review each request before their details are released, so unlocking is not always instant.
We do not guarantee that a candidate will accept an offer, stay for any length of time, or perform to a particular standard. The replacement guarantee above is exactly what it says and is the full extent of our commitment if a placement does not work out.
We may update these terms. The version that applies to any introduction is the version in effect on the day you unlocked that candidate. Changes are not retroactive.
