Please review the following terms carefully. By accessing or using the Service, you signify your agreement to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you may not access or use the Service.
USER TERMS DEFINED
“Candidate(s)” – Candidates are defined as any user(s) who may be seeking employment opportunities on a permanent or contractual basis through the Cherrypicker App or through Cherrypicker Search. Candidates may organically join Cherrypicker via the Mobile App questionnaire or be invited to the Recruiter platform by a Recruiter. A Recruiter may also import Candidate information from their Applicant Tracking Software into Cherrypicker and invite the Candidate to join Cherrypicker with an invite code. To join the Cherrypicker Service, Candidates must be invited and/or approved by a Recruiter (defined below). If a Candidate(s) is not invited or added by a Recruiter, they can download the mobile application from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store but must fill out the sign-up questionnaire within the App or through the sign-up form on the www.getcherrypicker.com Site. The Candidate will be placed on a waitlist where their profile will be reviewed and approved by A Recruiter on the Cherrypicker platform before joining. Once the Candidate’s profile registration has been approved by a Recruiter, the Candidate can use the Service to maintain their profile with the most up-to-date and accurate information and chat with the Recruiter who represents them. Candidates can receive, approve, or deny Introduction Requests (defined below) from Clients and receive notifications of job matches sent from Recruiters or Cherrypicker Clients from the Hiring Marketplace based on the Candidate’s job preferences and skillsets. Candidates are able to chat with their Recruiter and any Client(s) (defined below) who unlock their profile after mutual interest is established.
“Client(s)” – (or “Employer(s)”) are defined as the companies that use the Cherrypicker Hiring Marketplace or engage with Cherrypicker Search Services to source Candidates with the intention of hiring them. Clients can access the Hiring Marketplace on either a monthly or an annual subscription basis or on a pay-per-hire (defined below) basis as defined by the terms of their respective Service Agreement. Clients may also engage with the Cherrypicker Search service where they can leverage Our approved network of Recruiters to conduct a targeted search for a specific Candidate background. If a Client would like to engage with Cherrypicker Search, a separate Cherrypicker Search Agreement will be required and the terms will be mutually agreed upon between the Client and Cherrypicker. Any Candidate profile unlocked on the Hiring Marketplace is subject to a HIRING MARKETPLACE PLACEMENT FEE outlined in our HIRING MARKETPLACE PLACEMENT FEE AGREEMENT below.
“Recruiter(s)” – Recruiters are defined as Users who are licensees of the Cherrypicker Recruiter Platform and/or are independent recruiting firm partners and/or staffing agencies that are approved to work with Cherrypicker to supply Candidates to the Cherrypicker Service and/or partner with Cherrypicker Inc. on an engaged Cherrypicker Search service with a Client. When Cherrypicker refers a Cherrypicker Search job requisition to a Recruiter, collectively they will share in the revenue generated from placing a Candidate with a Client from a Job Offer (defined as an offer of employment made by a Client to a Candidate). Recruiters must enter into an agreed-upon Service Agreement with Cherrypicker to use Cherrypicker’s Services.

TYPES OF SUBSCRIPTIONS EXPLAINED
Recruiter Platform Subscription – Cherrypicker may grant a Recruiter a license to use the Cherrypicker Recruiter platform on a monthly or annual basis. Any Candidates invited by Recruiters to the Cherrypicker Service will automatically be made available (in limited view for Clients, hiding their identity and contact information) on the Hiring Marketplace once their account has been created. Recruiters are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the profiles of the Candidates they represent. Recruiters using the Recruiter Platform act as talent representatives and are required to work in the best interest of the Candidate they represent on the Hiring Marketplace. Recruiters can utilize various features on the Recruiter platform including but not limited to the ability to chat with Candidates, send targeted job opportunities to a Candidate’s mobile device, and edit/approve profile changes. Recruiters can import their Candidate databases from their existing Third-Party applicant tracking software if it is an approved Third Party by Cherrypicker. Candidates represented by Recruiters are located on the Candidate Dashboard on the Hiring Marketplace where Clients can directly request an introduction with a Candidate represented by a Recruiter. If the Candidate indicates interest in the Client’s introduction request or job match, the Client has the final option to unlock the Candidate’s profile. Once the Candidate profile is unlocked by the Client, the Client can make a Job Offer to the Candidate. If the Client makes a Job Offer (defined as an offer of employment to the Candidate) to a Candidate and is accepted by the Candidate, the Client will be required to pay a Hiring Marketplace Placement Fee that is calculated by the Site’s agreed-upon placement fee percentage multiplied by the base salary of the Candidate when hired based on their offer letter. The Recruiter who represents the Candidate will receive their share of the revenue generated by the accepted Job Offer. The Recruiter’s share of the revenue generated will be distributed to the Recruiter by Cherrypicker upon collection of the full amount of the Hiring Marketplace Placement Fee from the Client. All billings to the Client and collections from the Client will be facilitated by Cherrypicker. Cherrypicker will not incur late fees from Recruiters. Cherrypicker charges late payment fees to delinquent Clients, as stated herein.
Introduction Credit Subscriptions – Cherrypicker may grant Clients an “Introduction Credit Subscription” on a monthly or annual basis to be used on the Hiring Marketplace. The Introduction Credit Subscription provides Clients with more favorable pricing on Introduction Credit bulk purchases. Introduction Credits (defined below) can be used only on Candidates who are represented by Cherrypicker Recruiters and will expire at the end of the term of the Introduction Credit Subscription Agreement. If the Client agrees to renew the Agreement, any remaining Introduction Credits will roll over to the following period and be available for the term length stated in the renewed agreement. Cherrypicker Inc. reserves the right to offer a trial period of unlimited introduction credits to Clients and can cancel the trial offer at any time. Cherrypicker may offer trial periods of unlimited introduction credits during beta testing and reserves the right to increase prices for Introduction Credits at any time.
CLIENT-SPECIFIC HIRING MARKETPLACE TERMS OF USE
Once a Client is registered for the Service and approved by Cherrypicker, the Client will be able to browse the Candidates on the Service, submit non-binding Introduction Requests (“Introduction Request(s)”), distribute jobs to Candidates and communicate with these Candidates once a Candidate profile is unlocked. Once a Client has discovered a Candidate on the Service, the Client agrees to submit all Introduction Requests exclusively through the Service. The Client and the Candidate may use other means of communication as agreed upon between the Client and Candidate after a Candidate profile is unlocked. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT CHERRYPICKER DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ITS USERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS USERS. YOU AGREE TO CONDUCT ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS, REFERENCE CHECKS, OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE THAT YOU MAY REQUIRE BEFORE ENGAGING ANY CANDIDATE.
The Client and Candidate agree not to circumvent the Service by independently attempting to communicate with each other or attempt to hire the respective Candidate through alternative means after discovering the Candidate on the Service or vice versa.
When Clients send Introduction Requests to Candidates, an attempt(s) is made by a Client to indicate “Initial Interest” to Candidates using the Service. “Mutual Interest” (or “Mutually Interested Candidate”) is defined as the action taken by a Candidate on the Cherrypicker Mobile Application that gives consent to the Client allowing them to unlock their entire Candidate profile at the Client’s discretion. By indicating Mutual Interest, a Candidate agrees to an implied contract that they have not applied to the Client’s company within a six-month (specifically one hundred eighty (180) day) period from receiving the job match or Introduction Request. The Candidate is also required to participate in at least one first-round video interview or in-person interview with the Client upon indicating interest. Mutual Interest does not guarantee that the Client will choose to unlock the Candidate’s profile, schedule an interview, or hire the Candidate. Clients shall have the option to rescind Introduction Requests at any time if the Candidate has not indicated Mutual Interest. Cherrypicker is unable to unlock a Candidate profile manually on behalf of a Client without a Candidate’s consent. Only a Candidate can give consent to indicate Mutual Interest for the Client to unlock the respective Candidate profile. Under no circumstances shall the Candidate attempt to reach out to the Client after discovering the Client on Cherrypicker through a job match or introduction request. Cherrypicker reserves the right to remove the Candidate or Client in question from the Service at any time pursuant to any wrongdoing.
HIRING MARKETPLACE PLACEMENT FEE AGREEMENT
Clients agree to pay Cherrypicker a placement fee of 15% of the Candidate’s starting guaranteed compensation if the Candidate is hired within twelve (12) months from the date the Candidate profile was unlocked on the Cherrypicker Hiring Marketplace. It is the responsibility of the Client to initiate the hiring process on the Cherrypicker Service by immediately uploading an official offer letter, and terms of employment (including but not limited to start date, salary, job title, office location, work arrangement (hybrid, on-site, remote), and any necessary metadata related to the hiring of the respective Candidate) to the Cherrypicker Service if an unlocked Candidate is hired. Failure to do so within 30 days of the Candidate’s start date will result in a 25% placement fee of the Candidate’s starting guaranteed compensation instead of the original 15% placement fee.
Our fee is due and payable within thirty (30) days of the Candidate’s start date.
As to any Candidate introduction facilitated by Cherrypicker’s marketplace and hired within one (1) year of the introduction, it is conclusively presumed that the hire would not have occurred but for the introduction by Cherrypicker.
In the event that a Candidate attempts to initiate a hiring process with the Client after receiving an introduction request, the Client will be responsible for paying the placement fee if the Candidate is successfully hired within twelve (12) months of the introduction request. All Candidates are required to indicate if they have applied to the Client within the last six months when receiving a job match or introduction request from a Client to ensure the Candidate is new to the Client’s hiring process and has not been previously discovered outside of Cherrypicker’s Services.
Provided full payment is received within thirty (30) days of the Candidate’s start date, Cherrypicker will guarantee a full refund under the following circumstances:
-
The Candidate voluntarily leaves the Client without fault of the Client within ninety (90) calendar days of the start date.
-
The Client for the fault of the Candidate terminates the Candidate within ninety (90) calendar days of the start date.
The Refund Guarantee does not apply in cases of layoffs, reduction in forces, and downsizing.
All overdue invoices will be subject to a 5% service charge per month until paid.
Cherrypicker’s Terms of Use are hereby incorporated into and made a part of the Hiring Marketplace Placement Fee Agreement.
INTRODUCTION CREDITS EXPLAINED
“Introduction credit(s)”, purchased either one at a time directly through the Service which is integrated through Stripe or in bulk by contacting a Cherrypicker Sales Representative directly through the Service, are defined as the token currency that only Clients can purchase to unlock Candidate profiles once Mutual Interest has been established on the Cherrypicker Hiring Marketplace. A Candidate profile can be unlocked when ALL of the following items below have been satisfied:
1 – A Client must first indicate Initial Interest in a Candidate profile by sending an Introduction Request through our Service or if a Client posts a job through our Service that matches a Candidate; this is assumed to be Initial Interest in the matched Candidate.
2 – The Candidate must show Mutual Interest in the Client by accepting an Introduction Request or indicate interest in a job match they received on their mobile device through our Service.
(Please note: Clients can directly show Initial Interest by searching the Hiring Marketplace Cherrypicker Service and then clicking “Request an Introduction” or if they post a job on the Service, Clients may preview a list of interested Candidates however they will not be able to unlock the Candidate profile with an Introduction Credit until Mutual Interest is indicated by the matched Candidate).
Clients shall not attempt to contact a “Locked Candidate” (defined as a Candidate profile that has not been unlocked with an Introduction Credit) until an Introduction Credit has been used after a Candidate has shown Mutual Interest. Once a Client uses an Introduction Credit to unlock a Candidate profile, the Client can view the entire Candidate profile and contact the Candidate directly using the contact information provided by the Candidate on their profile.
Cherrypicker prides itself in creating job opportunities for Candidates and discourages its Users from circumventing the Service. The Cherrypicker Hiring Marketplace is owned and operated by Cherrypicker Inc. and provides a platform for Clients and Candidates to connect regarding potential relevant employment opportunities. Cherrypicker serves only as the platform provider, and any communication, hiring, or other decisions are solely those of the Recruiter, Client and Candidate, not Cherrypicker.
If Cherrypicker determines that a Client has intentionally circumvented our Services after discovering a Mutually Interested, Locked Candidate through our Service and subsequently hired that Candidate within twelve (12) months of the date on which the Client unlocked the Candidate profile through the Services, we will promptly notify such Client of such circumvention and provide Client with thirty (30) days to provide us with reasonable documentation identifying that such Client was actively involved with recruiting and communicating with such Candidate prior to contacting such Candidate through our Service. In the event the Client is unable to provide Us with such documentation, Cherrypicker will invoice the Client for, and the Client will pay for the value of the Hiring Marketplace Placement Fee, which is equal to the lesser of 25% of the Candidate’s guaranteed salary or $50,000, as applicable and the Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Client’s account. Cherrypicker has sole discretion to add, remove, or refund promotional Introduction Credits at any time or to penalize for circumventing our Services.
CANDIDATE SPECIFIC TERMS
A Candidate can receive an Introduction Request (“Initial Interest”) from a Client, a job match from a Recruiter (a job posted privately by a Recruiter), a job match from a Client (a job that was posted by a Client on the Hiring Marketplace), or be contacted by a Recruiter about a job opportunity that was conducted by Cherrypicker Search. A Candidate is required to promptly notify Cherrypicker if the Candidate: (a) accepts a Client’s Job Offer of employment, whether for an indefinite or fixed term; (b) accepts an offer to engage as a contractor, whether for an indefinite or fixed term (each, a “Contractor Engagement”); or (c) accepts a Client’s employment offer during or within twelve (12) months after termination of a Contractor Engagement with such Client (each, a “Job Offer”). You agree that: (i) if You receive a Job Offer, You shall promptly notify Cherrypicker of Your Start Date and the key terms of such Job Offer (and notify Cherrypicker promptly should that Start Date or offer terms change at any time); and (ii) You will promptly notify Cherrypicker after termination of Your employment as a Candidate, intern, coop Candidate, consultant or contractor in the event that: (A) a Client terminates Your engagement based on unsatisfactory performance within ninety (90) days of the date on which Your Employment commenced; or (B) You voluntarily terminate Your engagement within ninety (90) days of the date on which Your engagement commenced.
The Candidate agrees not to attempt to circumvent the Service by independently attempting to communicate with a Client that contacted or communicated with him or her on the Service.
RECRUITER SPECIFIC TERMS
Once a Recruiter is approved to use the Cherrypicker Service, the Recruiter can integrate their existing applicant tracking software (if the software is an approved third party of Cherrypicker) to import their candidate databases to the Cherrypicker Candidate database which can be viewed on the Hiring Marketplace by Clients. Any Candidate represented by Recruiters is located on the Candidate Dashboard on the Hiring Marketplace. A Candidate must be invited to join Cherrypicker by a Recruiter or a Cherrypicker Talent Representative (“Cherrypicker Talent Representative” is defined as a Cherrypicker employee who is responsible for managing Candidate relationships and success on the Cherrypicker Service). If a Candidate receives an invitation from a Recruiter and a Cherrypicker Talent Representative simultaneously, the Candidate must indicate who they would prefer to be represented by on the Cherrypicker Service. A Candidate can only be represented by one party on the Cherrypicker Service, either a Recruiter or a Cherrypicker Talent Representative. The Candidate-approved representative will share in the revenue generated from a Successful Placement. Cherrypicker is not responsible for any misconduct or miscommunication by a Recruiter. Cherrypicker will review the Recruiter in question and determine the severity of their actions. Cherrypicker has the right to remove any Recruiter from the platform if misconduct persists and their use of Service is detrimental to Cherrypicker’s image.
CHERRYPICKER SEARCH SERVICE TERMS OF USE
The Cherrypicker Search Service (also known as “Cherrypicker Search” and/or “Cherrypicked Ventures LLC”) is directly affiliated with Cherrypicker Inc. and provides executive search support to Cherrypicker Clients. Clients who are unable to identify a specific candidate through the Hiring Marketplace Service, have the option to engage with Cherrypicker Search to find a qualified professional that meets the search criteria of a specific job opening. All Cherrypicker Search Clients must enter into a specific Cherrypicker Search Agreement before engaging with Cherrypicker Search. Cherrypicker may engage with and enter into staffing partnership agreements with approved Third-Party recruiting partners to assist with the Cherrypicker Search Service. All Clients engaged with Cherrypicker Search should refer to the agreed-upon terms of their Cherrypicker Search Agreement and/or Service Agreement for specific guidance related to the Service. Cherrypicker and Cherrypicker Search does not guarantee that Clients will find an appropriate employee through Our Services.
CHERRYPICKER SEARCH CANDIDATE OWNERSHIP TERMS
Any Candidate referred to a Client by a Recruiter that is engaged in a Cherrypicker Search within a three hundred sixty-five day (365) period, is subject to a Cherrypicker Search Placement Fee paid by the Client. The Cherrypicker Search Placement Fee is equal to the agreed upon placement fee percentage of the 1st year base salary or prorated contractor compensation of the Candidate stated in the respective Cherrypicker Search Service Agreement. The Client is required to provide a copy of an executed offer letter that includes but is not limited to the following information: the name of the Candidate, the starting base salary of the Candidate hired, the start date of the hired position, job title for the hired position and any other related metadata related to the hired position. The Recruiter who supplied the Candidate to Cherrypicker will receive its share of the revenue generated from that Cherrypicker Search Placement Fee based on their respective Service Agreement terms with Cherrypicker Inc. If a Client unlocks a Candidate on the Cherrypicker Marketplace prior to receiving a referral from the Cherrypicker Search Service, the successful hire will be subject to the terms and fees related to the Cherrypicker Hiring Marketplace. If a Client unlocks a Candidate that was already presented during a Cherrypicker Search Service, the successful hire will be subject to the terms and fees related to the Cherrypicker Search Service. If a Client hires a Candidate and fails to notify Cherrypicker of the hire within a 30-day period, Cherrypicker may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Client’s account.
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS
Clients engaged in a Subscription Agreement with Cherrypicker (individually a “Subscription Client” and collectively “Subscription Clients”) will be charged a Subscription fee as agreed upon between the Client and Cherrypicker for a specific term length (the “Subscription Period”). All state and local sales, use, excise, value-added, privilege, and/or similar taxes applicable to the Subscription Fee will be invoiced as a separate item. During the Subscription Period, the Subscription Client will be able to take advantage of premium features, post jobs, browse the Hiring Marketplace, send Introduction requests of Initial Interest to Candidates, contact (through the Service or outside of the service by Email or Phone referencing Cherrypicker) Candidates who indicated Mutual Interest once an Introduction credit has been used, and extend Job Offers (defined as offers of employment made by Clients to Candidates) to Candidates listed on the Service. Subscription Agreements will contain language about the number of Introduction Credits issued to Clients approved by Cherrypicker. The Subscription Agreement will indicate instructions for the Client to purchase additional introduction credits based on current bulk pricing. Once a Candidate has been unlocked with an Introduction Credit, a Hiring Marketplace Placement fee is owed if the Candidate is hired by the Client.
If Your Subscription Agreement contains payment obligations for Job Offers to Recruiter Represented Candidates, the Client agrees to pay the Hiring Marketplace Placement Fee for such Job Offers as indicated in such Subscription Agreement. In the event of a dispute regarding Hiring Marketplace Placement Fees, if Client can show that within the six (6) months prior to unlocking the Candidate on the Cherrypicker Hiring Marketplace, Client had active back-and-forth communications with a Candidate regarding the relevant employment opportunity, Cherrypicker may, in its sole discretion, determine if such Hiring Marketplace Placement Fee remains due and owed. In the event You have paid a Hiring Marketplace Placement Fee and a Candidate terminates or discontinues their employment or contractor engagement with You within ninety (90) days of start date, Cherrypicker will provide You a credit for additional Cherrypicker Marketplace services corresponding to the Hiring Marketplace Placement Fees paid for such Candidate. Any applied credit will expire twelve (12) months from date issued. YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY ANY SUCCESS FEES SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
A Client entering into a Subscription Agreement with the Cherrypicker may need to complete a Direct Debit Authorization Form allowing Cherrypicker to withdraw, debit, or charge monthly payments from the Client’s designated bank or credit card account(s). By accepting the Company’s Terms of Use, the Client agrees that the Company is authorized to immediately withdraw Subscription Fees due and payable to the Company hereunder from the Client’s account and that no additional notice or consent is required. Client agrees to immediately notify the Company of any change in its billing address, or any account information provided to the Company used for payment hereunder.
Subscription Clients are required to promptly notify Cherrypicker upon a Candidate acceptance of a Job Offer together with the key terms of such Job Offer, including the start date for such Candidate (including prompt notification of any subsequent changes in such start date.) Subscription Clients shall provide the Company with a copy of a fully executed Job Offer letter. If before the start date, either the Subscription Client or Candidate elects not to begin the employment relationship contemplated by the Job Offer, the Subscription Client shall promptly notify Cherrypicker thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, standard Hiring Marketplace Placement Placement Fees will apply in the event a Subscription Client hires a Candidate (a) outside of its Subscription Period, or (b) that is in a category outside of such Clients’s Subscription Agreement.
If you do not agree with any of the provisions of this Agreement, please terminate your account immediately and cease using the Company. YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY ANY SUCCESS FEES SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
AUTHORIZED USERS AND DEVICES
Clients will be provided with login credentials that they can share with their talent acquisition departments and hiring managers within their organization (each an “Authorized User”). Those Users are able to interact with Candidates on the Service, including posting jobs, sending Introduction Requests, and hiring Candidates.
The Client will designate one Client User for each seat it purchases and will not permit a Client User to share a Client User’s access to the Service with any other individual outside of the Client’s organization (employer). If a Client User ceases employment, takes leave or vacation, or transfers work function, the Client may transfer the Client User’s seat to a different Client User. Cherrypicker reserves the right to limit the number of transfers of each seat. If Cherrypicker discovers that Client Users are sharing seat access to the Service with other Client employees or contractors who have not been provisioned access (each, an “Unauthorized User”), this will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Cherrypicker will have the right to assign any unused seats purchased by Client to the Unauthorized Users to remedy Client’s breach. If there are no unused purchased seats, Cherrypicker reserves the right to assess a fee equal to 1.5 times the prorated cost of the Additional Seat.
Each Authorized User may be logged into Our Service from multiple browsers or computers (the “Devices”) at the same time. At the time this Agreement was written, there is currently no limit on the number of browsers who can access Our Service within their organization. Access to the Hiring Marketplace is meant to be shared between hiring managers within their organization.
Clients may add additional seats at any time during an applicable Service term. For clarity, additional seats will be added only for the duration of the applicable Service term and the associated fee set forth on the applicable Order Form will be prorated accordingly. Upon the Client’s notice of intent to add additional seats and immediate payment of the invoice, Cherrypicker will add the number of seats requested.
INTRODUCTION CREDIT REFUND POLICY
Cherrypicker will return an Introduction Credit back to Clients if ALL the following points (1 & 2) below are satisfied:
1 – Client provides proof of documentation that an unlocked Candidate has failed to respond to multiple attempts (at least 3 attempts) through email communication inviting them to participate in a first-round video interview or in-person interview after 14 days.
2 – Cherrypicker must attempt to contact the Candidate to inform them to complete the first-round interview with the Client. The Candidate must decline to participate in a first-round interview video call or in-person interview or fail to respond to Cherrypicker within 3 attempts.
Cherrypicker will refund the Introduction Credit back to the Client if all the above items have been satisfied. Cherrypicker reserves the right to review the Candidate’s account in question and can terminate the Candidate’s account if they continue as a repeat offender.
We may use a third-party payment processing vendor (“Third-Party Payment Vendor”) to process your payment and/or refund of the purchase of the Introduction Credits.
Please note when Introduction Credits are purchased by a Client on the Service, they are agreeing to the price posted at the time of purchase. All sales are final and non-refundable due to our data partnerships. Cherrypicker reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase or decrease the cost of an Introduction Credit on the Service at any time. Any Introduction Credit purchased by a Client prior to any price change will remain in the Client’s account and will not incur any additional fees. The Client will not be eligible for a refund of the difference in price should the price decrease after their purchase. If a Client has a Subscription Agreement with Cherrypicker, Introduction Credits will expire at the end of the term of the Subscription Agreement. Any unused Introduction Credits will roll over to the following year if the Client renews their Subscription Agreement.
