We find your backdoor hires.
You get paid.
A typical recruitment agency loses over $40,000 per annum to backdoor hires.
We quickly find your backdoor hires and help you recover this lost revenue, without putting your client relationships at risk.
Our podcast explains how we help recruiters
I’m Guy Walker, founder of BackdoorAlerts. I saw that the only existing backdoor hire solutions were provided by hardened debt collection companies and bailiffs. But most recruiters don’t want to threaten or intimidate their clients with a debt collection agency. They want to keep a good relationship with their clients, but also get paid.
Furthermore, existing solutions want a cut of your client fees whenever they discover one of your backdoor hires. I believe this is unfair and unnecessary.
I therefore created a team to develop a better solution for recruiters. Please click to listen to our podcast, which explains how our backdoor hire detection service works, and how it can really help you.
How does it work?
Start your 14 day free trial
We need your name, business name and email address to start your free trial. You get full access to our service for 14 days.
Upload your introductions
Upload your list of candidate introductions through either our simple online form or by using our .csv template spreadsheet. As you make new introductions, simply upload them whenever it's convenient for you to do so. Your data is fully encrypted and kept fully secure so that even our own staff cannot access it. Your data security is our number one priority.
Our Al system finds any backdoor hires and alerts you by email
Our advanced and automatic Al detection system gets to work, regularly checking each of your candidates to see if they have been hired by any of the clients you introduced them to. We immediately email you the details of any identified backdoor hires, together with the evidence we've found.
Our template emails enable you to recover your fees
Our email templates help you to inform the client professionally and overcome any excuses they may have, without losing the client relationship.
This will work successfully in most cases, with the client agreeing to pay you. However, on the rare occasion that a client still refuses to pay, our lawyers can then help you pursue legal action, should you wish to do so, and can arrange to enforce court orders and recover debts.

What our service does for you:
You make the introductions, then don’t get paid.
You're too busy to keep track of every introduction.
Clients always have good excuses for not paying.
You work hard, you feel cheated.
1. Fast AI detection
We’ve developed powerful new AI tools to ensure faster detection and notification.
We can detect your backdoor hires within days, and sometimes even within hours.
2. No finder’s fees
We don’t charge any finder’s fees. You keep all the recovered revenues.
We believe it’s unfair and unnecessary to charge recruitment agencies a finder’s fee. You’ve done all the work in making the candidate / client introductions.
3. Safe
We’re not a debt collection company, and we don’t put your client relationships at risk.
Heavy-handed tactics usually aren’t necessary. A persuasive professional approach is more effective, and you get to keep a good client relationship.
4. We’re not a debt-collection company
Backdoor fee recovery services have traditionally been provided by debt- collector firms. But you will likely lose your relationships with your clients if you involve a deb-collection company, or bailiffs. It typically isn’t necessary.
Our approach enables you to get paid AND keep the client relationship. It’s all about approaching the client in the right way, and overcoming any excuses the client may give for not paying.
5. Easily overcome client excuses
We’ve put together a list of all the most common client excuses, and for each we’ve prepared a sequence of highly effective template responses, which will overcome the excuse in most cases.
You will receive immediate access to our template responses when you sign up for a free trial of our Backdoor Alert service. This document can literally save you many $Thousands per annum.
6. How to make your client agreements watertight
If you’re using standard client agreements provided by the industry’s leading associations, then be aware that such contracts are likely missing some important clauses which can close the loopholes used by clients to avoid payment.
We have prepared a document which will enable you to close the loopholes in your agreements, helping to make your client agreements watertight.
This document includes all the key clauses which should be in your client agreements. It’s much harder for clients to avoid paying, once you have the right clauses in place. We automatically email this document to you on signup. Note, this is not legal advice. Always consult a lawyer.

How do you protect my data – will my data be secure?
Your data security is our top priority. We ensure data security through using the latest encryption technologies and adhering to strict data privacy regulations to ensure that your data is locked down in a secure digital vault and safely protected at all times. Your data is solely used for the purpose of backdoor hire detection. Our staff do not have any access to any client or candidate data you upload to your account.
How does BackdoorAlert.com find my backdoor hires?
Our backend system works for you like a digital detective, scanning the internet, databases, API’s and websites, looking for any changes in your candidate’s employment status.
Can BackdoorAlert.com prevent backdoor hires?
No system can prevent a client from attempting a backdoor hire. However, our system identifies your backdoor hires at the earliest possible stage and alerts you as soon as a backdoor hire is suspected, allowing you to take timely action. We provide you with effective template emails for approaching the client in the right way and overcoming client excuses.
What kind of results can I expect?
Our users typically recover significant lost revenue due to backdoor hires and report improved client relationships due to proactive handling. You’ll likely see measurable financial and relational benefits.
How is your service different?
Unlike debt collection agencies, BackdoorAlert.com doesn’t have an aggressive approach to securing your fees. We find that a firm and highly persuasive, but non-intimidatory, professional approach is more effective in recovering fees than a confrontational approach. Our approach helps you to maintain a good relationship with the client AND get paid. We focus on identifying hires early and providing you with the tools you need (effective template emails and template responses to client excuses) to enable you to recover lost fees and get paid while retaining client goodwill. Additionally, we only charge a simple monthly subscription fee, with no finders fees.
What are the costs of your service?
Our service operates on a monthly subscription basis, which means you pay a fixed fee each month for our services. This fee structure eliminates unpredictable costs and allows you to better manage your business expenses. See the different tiers in our pricing plans.
Will I need to install any software to use your service?
No software installation is required. Our secure platform is accessible through any browser, ensuring seamless integration into your current workflow without technical hassles. You simply add your candidates and client introductions through your encrypted and secure account, either through an online form or just by uploading a spreadsheet file. Our backend systems then automatically start searching for any backdoor hires, and keep looking according to the term of your client agreements. For example; if one of your client agreements requires the client to notify you of a hire within 12 months of introduction, then you simply enter the date of first introduction and the term of 12 months. Our system will keep scanning throughout this period.
Will using your service affect my client relationships?
Our service uses a professional and persuasive approach that aims to help you avoid confrontation, and prioritizes maintaining good client relations. We help you address backdoor hires professionally without resorting to aggressive collection methods, ensuring your client relationships remain strong.
