What is the Honcho Hunters Channel Partner Network?
The Honcho Hunters Channel Partner Network enables independent recruiters, recruitment consultants and talent acquisition professionals in India to collaborate on recruitment opportunities through two models: a success-sharing partnership linked to successful placements, and an approved-profile partnership linked to candidate profile approval under agreed terms. Each model has its own process and commercial conditions.
Two Partnership Options
Choose Your Partnership Model
Choose the model that best suits your professional experience, recruitment capabilities and preferred way of working.
Option 1
Success-Sharing Partnership
Contribute to successful placements. Share in the success.
This model is designed for experienced recruitment professionals who want to collaborate with Honcho Hunters on recruitment assignments and participate in the agreed commercial reward when a successful placement is achieved.
You identify and refer suitable candidates, apply your recruitment expertise and work within the agreed assignment framework. Your share of the recruitment fee is determined by the commercial terms agreed for the relevant assignment.
This model may be right for you if you:
- Have experience in recruitment, executive search or talent acquisition.
- Maintain a strong professional network within specific industries or functions.
- Prefer assignment-based collaboration linked to successful placements.
- Want to develop a long-term professional relationship with Honcho Hunters.

Option 2
Approved-Profile Partnership
Identify suitable candidates. Earn against approved profiles.
This model is designed for recruitment professionals who prefer a profile-based arrangement in which payment is linked to candidate profiles approved under the applicable terms.
The focus is on identifying relevant, carefully screened candidates who meet the requirements of specific assignments communicated by Honcho Hunters.
This model may be right for you if you:
- Have access to relevant candidate networks, professional contacts or talent databases.
- Understand specific industries, functions and recruitment requirements.
- Prefer a defined profile-submission and evaluation process.
- Can consistently identify suitable candidates rather than submit CVs in bulk.
- Value transparent evaluation criteria and clearly communicated commercial terms.
The profile approval criteria, payment arrangements and working process are explained on the dedicated page.
