Recruited affiliate program
Earn by sending athletes
to Recruited.

- 10% of paid services
- Paid monthly in USD
How it works
From application to payout in four steps.
No fees and no quotas. Apply once, then share your link wherever you already talk to athletes and families.
Apply
Tell us who you reach and how you'll share Recruited. It takes about five minutes.
Get approved
We review every application by hand. Once you're approved, your personal link and code arrive by email.
Share your link
Post it, text it, put it in your bio. Anyone who signs up on the Recruited website within 90 days of clicking it, in the same browser, counts as your referral.
Earn every month
When the families you refer pay for Premium or our services, you earn a commission. We pay out monthly.
What you earn
A real share of what your referrals pay.
Commissions are a percentage of each payment, not a one-time bounty, so a family that stays with Recruited keeps earning for you.
Premium subscriptions
20%
Earned on every Premium payment a referred account makes, monthly or yearly, for as long as your commission window runs.
Paid services and highlight videos
10%
Earned on highlight videos and paid recruiting services, the larger purchases families make with us.
Every $100 a referred family pays for Premium earns you $20.
- How long you earn
- 12 months after sign-up
- Refund hold
- 30 days
- Payouts
- Monthly, by Zelle, PayPal, Venmo or check
- Minimum payout
- $25

Program rules
The rules, in plain words.
By applying, you agree to these rules. We keep them short so there are no surprises.
Last click, 90-day window
A referral counts when someone signs up on the Recruited website within 90 days of clicking your link, in the same browser, or types your code when they sign up on the website. Sign-ups in the Recruited app aren't tracked yet: if someone you referred signed up there, tell us and we can add them. If they later click another partner's link, the latest click wins. Each account can be referred only once.
When you earn
You earn on every payment a referred account makes in the first 12 months after it signs up.
Refund hold
Each commission waits 30 days in case of a refund, then it's ready to pay.
Refunds reverse commissions
If a payment is refunded, its commission is reversed in proportion. If it was already paid, the amount comes off your next payout.
Monthly payouts in USD
We send ready balances by hand once a month, by Zelle, PayPal, Venmo or check. Add your payout details in the partner portal.
Minimum payout
Balances under $25 roll over to the next month.
No self-referrals
Your own sign-ups don't earn commission, and fake or duplicate accounts are removed.
No spam, no bidding on our brand
Don't send unsolicited messages, and don't run paid search ads on “Recruited” or close variations of it.
Promote honestly
Say that you earn a commission when you recommend Recruited, and never promise scholarships, offers or placements.
We can suspend for abuse
Breaking these rules can get your partner account suspended, and commissions earned through abuse are voided.
Taxes and W-9
Partners in the United States send us a W-9 before their first payout; we'll email you when it's needed. You're responsible for your own taxes.
Changes to these rules
We may update these rules. Changes apply only to commissions earned after they take effect.
These rules apply together with the Recruited Terms of Service.

FAQ
Questions from partners
Does it cost anything to join?
No. The program is free. Apply, and once we approve you, you get your personal link and code.
Who can apply?
Coaches, clubs and academies, content creators, recruiting advisors, and parents or athletes whose audience trusts them on college sports. Tell us how you'd share Recruited and we'll review it.
How are sign-ups tracked?
Your link remembers each visitor for 90 days in the browser they opened it in, so a sign-up on the Recruited website within that time counts even if they come back later. Families can also type your code when they sign up on the website. Sign-ups in the Recruited app or on another device aren't tracked yet: tell us who they are and we can add them. If someone clicked links from more than one partner, the most recent click wins.
How much can I earn?
You earn a percentage of every eligible payment, not a one-time bounty, so your earnings grow with the families who stay. Your rates are confirmed in your approval email and always visible in your partner portal.
When do I get paid?
Once a month, in US dollars, by Zelle, PayPal, Venmo or check. Each commission becomes payable after its refund hold, and balances under the minimum roll over to the next month.
Can I follow my results?
Yes. Your partner portal shows your clicks, sign-ups, who went Premium, and your earnings on hold, ready and paid, month by month.
What if a family gets a refund?
The matching commission is reversed. If it was already paid, the amount comes off your next payout.
Can I use my existing Recruited account?
Partner accounts are separate from athlete, parent and coach accounts, so apply with a different email address. You'll use it to log in to your partner portal.
