Earn $750+ every time a founder you refer makes a hire.
Send U.S. founders and operators to Marco — we place the top 1% of global professionals with their teams at 70–80% less than U.S. equivalents. You earn up to $1,000 per placement, on every hire your referred companies make.
Three steps. Zero friction.
You bring the audience. Marco handles the recruiting, vetting, and onboarding. Get paid every time a referred founder books their first hire — and again on every hire after that.
A program that rewards whales.
Founders who hire one Marco placement typically come back for 3–10 more in the next 12 months. Our ladder turns a one-shot commission into an annuity — the more your referrals scale, the more you earn per hire.

Higher payouts. Faster cash.
Marco's commissions land above the most-talked-about creator programs in the category — and we pay before placement closes.
Built for partners who own an audience.
If your audience is making their 10th hire (not their first), Marco is the highest-leverage program you can run for them.
Operators & creators
You publish playbooks, frameworks, and operator content for founders who hire often. Welsh, Huber, Sanchez, Koe types.
Newsletter publishers
SMB, ops, sales, marketing, and AI newsletters with a B2B audience. Plug Marco into your sponsor rotation.
Agencies & consultants
You advise founders on growth, ops, or hiring. Earn while solving the staffing problem they keep complaining about.
SEO & review sites
"Best outsourcing platforms" listicles drive leads forever. We cut a separate revenue share for editorial sites.
They build elite teams, at 70–80% less cost.
Most clients make 3–10 placements with us in their first year. They stay because the talent is the top 1%, the process is fast, and they save 70–80% on payroll costs.

Marco pays via Dub.co on a monthly payout cycle. Once a placement closes and the client is autocharged, your commission moves into Dub's standard ~30-day holding period (a buffer for refunds and disputes), then releases on the next monthly payout batch. We support PayPal, Stripe Connect, and ACH for U.S. partners.
Once a referred founder signs with Marco and pays the $500 deposit, our team gets to work sourcing and vetting candidates. The average placement closes in 21 days. As soon as their first hire onboards, the founder is autocharged the placement fee — and your commission accrues immediately, releasing on Dub's next monthly payout batch.
Your commissions ladder up as you close more placements with Marco — across all of your referred clients. Placements 1–4 each pay $500. Placements 5–9 each pay $750. Every placement from #10 onward pays $1,000. The ladder is marginal, so each placement is paid at the rate of its position in your sequence (not retroactively bumped up when you cross into a higher tier). 12 placements = 4 × $500 + 5 × $750 + 3 × $1,000 = $8,750.
12 months from the client's first hire. So if a referred founder makes their first hire on March 1, you earn on every additional hire they make through March 1 of the following year. After that 12-month window, additional hires from that client no longer trigger commissions for you — but everything you've already been paid stays yours, and the window resets independently for every new client you refer.
90-day click attribution by default. If your referral schedules a call within 90 days of clicking your link, you get credit on the placement — even if it takes them 6 months to actually onboard their first hire. Tier 2+ partners can request 180-day attribution windows for high-consideration audiences.
No clawbacks on commissions once a placement is live. If a placement doesn't work out within Marco's 6-month guarantee, we re-recruit at no cost to your client — and your commission stays paid. The only exception is fraud or self-referral (signing up your own company).
Organic content, email, and earned media: yes, encouraged. Paid social on Meta and LinkedIn: yes, with brand guideline approval. Paid Google/Bing search on "Marco" or "MarcoHire" branded terms: not allowed — we protect those for our own bidding. Reach out to your partner manager before launching any paid campaign.
U.S. founders or operators at companies with $1M–$50M ARR who are about to make a senior hire — head of marketing, ops lead, executive assistant, senior engineer, or specialist roles like a CRM operator or designer. Marco's sweet spot is a founder making their 10th hire, not their first. Audiences that match: B2B operators, agency owners, e-commerce founders, holdco operators.
Three formats consistently outperform: (1) personal stories about a specific senior hire you made through Marco, (2) "how to hire a [role]" educational content with Marco as the recommended source, (3) salary-guide drops where you publish our salary data with your link. We give all approved partners a content library with what's worked for top creators.
No. We're picking 15–30 founding partners over the first 90 days. Strong fits: an audience of B2B founders/operators 5K+, a track record of operator content, an existing newsletter or paid community, or a documented case study with senior hires. We review applications weekly and respond within 7 days.
Free. There's no fee to apply or to participate. We make money when you make money — and we only succeed if you do.
