DN8 Labs — For Partners
DN8 Labs · Partner Program

Introduce a client once — earn for as long as they stay

Your client isn't ready to hire a full-time HR director? That used to be a lost deal. Now it's recurring income: you earn 10% of every payment they make to DN8 — and when they grow into a full-time hire, the placement fee is still yours.

Why it works

A deal where all three sides win

A fractional HR director isn't a replacement for your placement business — it's a bridge to it. It monetizes the client you can't close today.

You — the partner

Income where there used to be zero

Clients who "aren't ready for a full-time HRD yet" stop being a dead end.

  • 10% of every client payment — recurring, for as long as they work with DN8
  • Your cost is one introduction. DN8 handles sourcing, contract and delivery
  • The placement fee for a future full-time hire stays yours
Their client

Senior HR at a price they can afford

An HR director at the level of Brown-Forman and Ipsos — part-time, no full-time hire.

  • $2,500/mo instead of $60–100k/yr for a full-time HRD + placement fee
  • System and data first; a full-time hire when there's a real role for it
  • You become the advisor who solved the problem, not the one who sold a vacancy

Warm flow instead of a cold market

We pay only from revenue received. No retainers, no risk for you.

  • We grow through partners, not cold markets
  • You bring the trust — we bring results in P&L numbers
  • Long relationships: the longer the client stays, the more you earn
Money, no fluff

Same client. Two scenarios.

Take a company that needs HR but isn't ready to pay for a full-time director. Let's compare what you'd earn.

Figures are an illustrative model based on a $2,500/mo contract and the CIS market (a Dubai placement fee is notably higher). A real fractional client lasts 12–24 months; we don't promise a "forever" client — we pay for as long as they're actually with us.

Questions

Briefly, on what matters

How is the reward structured legally?

Through a referral / agency agreement: you're the partner introducing clients, and DN8 pays a partner reward out of the revenue received from the client. "10% for as long as the client stays" is the commercial essence; in the contract it's fixed as a percentage of each payment received. No payments "out of thin air" — only from money we actually receive.

Is it a one-time or a recurring payment?

Recurring. You get a share of every monthly client payment for as long as they work with DN8. That's fundamentally different from a one-time placement fee — here a single introduced client pays you for 12–24 months.

Will I lose the future full-time placement fee?

Quite the opposite. Fractional is a bridge, not a replacement. We build the client's HR system, and when they grow into a full-time role, the search naturally comes back to you. You get both the recurring share now and the placement fee later.

What does it cost me, and how much effort?

Zero investment and one introduction. We handle the audit, the contract, the whole process and the client work. From you — the client's trust and a proper introduction.

What if the client leaves quickly?

Then the payments stop too — we're honest about the numbers. Average client lifetime is 12–24 months, but we don't build your economics on a promise of "forever." We pay exactly for as long as the client is actually with us.
