Preferred recruiter status

What is a Preferred recruiter?

Preferred recruiters are a status given to top performers on Paraform. Preferred Recruiters enjoy privileges on Paraform such as access to invite-only roles, initial invitations to newly listed roles, unlimited role approvals, dedicated Slack support from the Paraform team, and more.

How do I become a Preferred recruiter?

Preferred recruiter status is reserved for active, top-performing recruiters on the platform, based on recruiter rating, activity level, and hiring manager reviews.


Preferred recruiter status will usually be given to recruiters who meet the criteria below within 1 month of signup / activation.



Here's how it is calculated. Preferred status is given to the recruiters who:

  • Submissions: submits over 15 candidates in a month
  • Interview rate: has an interview rate above 60%
  • Avg. Candidate rating: has an average candidate rating 2.8 and above.

We do take into consideration some exceptions which may include hiring manager feedback and reviews, behavior on the platform with clients, candidates, and other recruiters, and outstanding reputation or profile outside of Paraform.
