Partner collaboration

One search. Clear ownership.

Shared Search supports approved collaboration when roles, Client authority, Talent ownership, responsibilities, communication, confidentiality, and economics are documented before work begins.

At a glance

Collaboration begins with alignment.

Shared Search is not an open job feed or informal handoff. TNC reviews the proposed search and parties before collaboration activates.

Approved recruiting, specialty, geographic, sourcing, and delivery partners
Scope

Commercial structure
Search-specific and agreement-based
Activation requirements
Trust review, client authority, written terms, and TNC approval must be complete

Before work begins

Define the relationship first.

The public overview carries the Shared Search relationship and referral scope into the unified Partner activation flow. Search authority, parties, and confidential context are confirmed only inside that secure flow.

  1. Identify the search, client context, parties, and proposed contribution.

  2. Review confidentiality, Talent ownership, Client ownership, and communication boundaries.

  3. Confirm responsibilities, submission protocol, fee treatment, and decision authority in writing.

  4. Activate only after required approvals and conflict review are complete.

  5. Track communication, submissions, outcomes, and obligations through the approved relationship.

Relationship protections

Nothing transfers by assumption.

A public review does not establish ownership, authorize outreach, grant Client access, release Talent information, or create a fee split. Binding document decisions and electronic signature happen only inside Partner activation.

  • Client authority must be confirmed before shared delivery.
  • Talent identity and full résumé permissions remain separate.
  • Ownership and fee treatment exist only under the applicable written terms.
  • Technology may summarize progress but never approves the relationship.
