- Why partner with us
Six reasons agencies
choose CareerGuard.
Every partner benefit is available from day one. No tiers, no upsells, no minimum placements required.
Differentiate your shortlist
Send clients candidates with verified SkillSnap profiles and assessment scores alongside your shortlist. No other agency at your price point does this. You become the agency that proves quality, not just claims it.
New revenue stream
Earn 20% commission on every employer who signs up through your referral link — every month they remain active. A single employer on our Core plan is worth £1,435/year to your agency. Zero ongoing work required.
Save your team 60% of screening time
CareerGuard assessments and SkillSnaps pre-qualify candidates before you submit them. Your consultants spend time on relationships, business development, and placements — not CV sifting.
Access our verified talent pool
Browse and headhunt from CareerGuard’s growing pool of skill-verified candidates who have already completed assessments and built SkillSnap profiles. Find quality talent your competitors can’t reach.
White-label co-branding
Send co-branded assessment invitations under your agency name. Candidates and clients see your brand. CareerGuard powers it behind the scenes. Your reputation, our technology.
Free to join — always
No setup fee. No monthly fee. No minimum placements. No contract. You sign up, get your partner link, and start using CareerGuard immediately. The only investment is your time — and you earn from day one.

- Who it's for
The right partnership if your agency...
CareerGuard partnership works best for boutique and mid-size UK agencies in these categories.
Recruits graduates or early careers
Our SkillSnap profiles and graduate potential assessments are built specifically for candidates with limited experience. Perfect for agencies placing grads, apprentices, or career changers.
Tech, finance, sales or ops roles
Our 400+ test library is deepest in technical, analytical, and soft-skill categories. Your candidates will score well, impress clients, and stand out from agency-sourced CVs.
Places 20+ candidates per year
The higher your placement volume, the more employer referrals you can generate and the higher your passive income. Even 5 employer referrals generates £7,164 annually.
Works with SMEs and growing businesses
CareerGuard is purpose-built for teams of 10–500 employees — the core client base of most boutique agencies. Your referrals are exactly who we built this for.
Cares about DE&I and inclusive hiring
Skills-based hiring removes degree and background bias by design. If your agency believes ability matters more than pedigree, CareerGuard is a natural fit.
Wants to grow without growing headcount
Commission income that requires no ongoing work from your team. Once an employer is referred, you earn passively. It’s the closest thing to free growth in agency business.
