Compare the amount retained and the protections the network provides.


Side by side
| Agency decision | TAP Recruiter | NPAworldwide |
|---|---|---|
| When to choose it | Choose TAP Recruiter when you and a partner want to decide your own commercial split. Its 0% placement commission leaves the full placement fee for the agencies to divide under their agreement. | NPAworldwide is a selective member-owned cooperative. Members share through SplitZone, follow network rules and may qualify for fee indemnification under those rules. |
| Membership and existing obligations | Free agencies can join invited work. Network includes originating roles and responding to employer briefs. TAP’s terms apply to its own charges. | NPA selects members and charges enrolment and dues. Its FAQ says brokerage can apply between two NPA members even when another network originated the work. |
| Placement fee example | A $20,000 fee split equally through TAP leaves $10,000 for each agency before subscriptions and other costs. Payment is handled between the parties. | NPA’s FAQ describes a standard member-to-member split of 47.5% per firm and 5% brokerage. On $20,000 that is $9,500 per firm and $1,000 to NPA. Membership charges are separate. |
