Why Channel Partners love referring Brix
Companies expanding globally rarely lack opportunities — they lack the human-resources infrastructure to actually land them. The teams in your network keep hitting the same walls:
- !
They want to hire fast in the US, China, Canada, Singapore, or Europe — but have no local entity yet.
- !
They've already found a candidate, but don't know how to compliantly sign, run payroll, file taxes, or provide insurance.
- !
Teams need short-term project staff, tech outsourcing, contractors, or cross-border teams — faster than internal HR & Legal can support.
- !
Overseas hiring is slow, candidates are hard to find, and costs are opaque — traditional headhunters can't match the growth pace.
Brix's value is collapsing all of it into one deliverable: Recruiting, Staffing, EOR, Payroll, Compliance, and HR Operations — delivered as one. Brix manages payroll, compliance, taxes, and benefits, and an EOR model removes the time and compliance burden of standing up an overseas entity.
Who you can refer
The best referrals are companies that need to hire across borders but don't have the entity, payroll, or HR infrastructure to do it. Five client profiles fit the program especially well.
- 01Companies going globalChinese companies entering the US, Canada, Europe, Singapore, or Japan that need to build a local team fast — but have no legal entity or HR setup in-market.
- 02US tech companies hiring globallyUS AI, SaaS, Robotics, Data, and Marketplace companies that want to hire engineering and operations talent in China, Asia, or worldwide — to cut cost and ship faster.
- 03Has a candidate, can't employ themThe client already found someone, but can't sign, can't run payroll, and isn't sure about local labor law — they need compliant onboarding through EOR.
- 04Needs flexible workforceProject-based, short-term, contractor, temporary, or trial-to-hire team needs — without adding formal headcount on day one.
- 05Scaling a cross-border teamPlanning to grow from a 1–5 person pilot to a 10–50 person team — and needs a combined Staffing + EOR + Payroll + HR Ops solution.
Partner benefits & earning mechanism
You focus on introductions, relationships, and spotting opportunities. Brix handles the entire delivery. Here's what you get.
- Clear referral rewardsEvery successful Qualified Referral earns a fixed reward, sized by the client's EOR active-employee count or successful Staffing placements.
- EOR and Staffing both countScope covers EOR (cross-border compliant employment, global payroll, local compliance) and Staffing (contract staffing and outsourced workforce — Brix runs sourcing, matching, and candidate delivery).
- Tiered rewards — bigger client, bigger payoutEOR is measured by the high-water mark of active, paid-for employees in the first three months after signing. Staffing is measured by successful 90-day placements.
- Cumulative Tier-Up BonusHit referral milestones and unlock a Tier-Up Bonus, paid alongside the Base Reward of the milestone deal. Milestone bonuses are cumulative.
- Custom rewards at Strategic TierFor strategic clients (EOR 100+ employees or Staffing 20+ placements), negotiate a deal-specific addendum with Brix to match the commercial value of a major account.
- Transparent settlement & Statement of EarningsEvery payment comes with a written breakdown: referral name, tier, base reward, tier-up bonus, Gross Profit Cap calculation, withholding, set-off, clawback adjustment, and final payable amount.
- Non-exclusive, built for long-term channelsThe agreement is non-exclusive — keep normal business relationships with multiple clients. Brix handles delivery; you focus on intros, relationships, and opportunity discovery.
Reward tiers
The same five tiers apply to both services — measured by EOR active employees or by successful Staffing 90-day placements. Base Reward is paid per Qualified Referral.
| Tier | EOR active employees | Staffing 90-day placements | Base reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 3–5 | 1 | $1,200 |
| Medium | 6–10 | 2–3 | $3,000 |
| Large | 11–29 | 4–7 | $6,000 |
| Enterprise | 30–99 | 8–19 | $15,000 |
| Strategic | 100+ | 20+ | Custom |
Beyond the base reward, four mechanics shape how Partners actually earn — how payouts stack, flex for strategic accounts, settle transparently, and stay non-exclusive.
- Cumulative referrals & Tier-Up BonusThe Tier-Up Bonus is paid alongside the Base Reward of the deal that hits the milestone, and milestone bonuses are cumulative.
- Strategic Tier — negotiate custom rewardsFor strategic clients (EOR 100+ employees or Staffing 20+ placements), Partners can agree a deal-specific addendum with Brix in advance — a more flexible way to match the commercial value of a major account.
- Transparent settlement & Statement of EarningsWith every payment, Brix provides a written earnings breakdown — including referral name, tier, base reward, tier-up bonus, Gross Profit Cap calculation, withholding, set-off, clawback adjustment, and the final payable amount.
- Non-exclusive — built for long-term channel monetizationThe agreement is non-exclusive: Partners keep normal business relationships with multiple clients. Brix handles delivery, while Partners focus on client introductions, relationship-building, and discovering business opportunities.
Partner FAQ
The questions partners ask most, answered plainly.
Q1Do I have to be involved in delivery afterward?
No. Your core role is introducing qualified prospective clients. Brix's internal team handles final commercial negotiation, contract execution, candidate sourcing / screening / matching, client onboarding, account management, payroll, and compliance operations.
Q2What if the client is already in Brix's pipeline?
You'll need a deal registration first. If the client is already in Brix's active sales pipeline, Brix may decline the registration. Register clients as early as possible — before you introduce them — to avoid attribution disputes.
Q3Does EOR pass-through payroll count toward my reward base?
No. The agreement's Gross Profit Cap explicitly excludes pass-through amounts such as salaries, taxes, social security, and benefits. The EOR reward cap is based on Brix's actual net service revenue; the Staffing reward cap is based on Brix's net service margin / markup.
Q4When do I get paid?
Once the EOR or Staffing trigger conditions are met and Brix has actually received the client's fees — after applicable caps, tax withholding, set-off, or clawback — payment is typically made within 30 business days.
Q5What currencies can I be paid in?
Rewards are calculated in USD, and can be paid in USD, EUR, GBP, RMB, or another major currency by written agreement between both parties.
Q6Can I use a sub-agent to refer for me?
By default, no. The agreement prohibits using sub-agents, sub-brokers, or downstream intermediaries without Brix's written consent — to avoid multi-layer intermediation, attribution disputes, anti-bribery risk, and confidentiality risk.
