The Problem
Good product.
Wrong room.
Most HR and recruitment tech vendors don't lose deals because their product isn't good enough. They lose them because they never got in front of the right buyer at the right moment.
You're selling to the wrong people
69% of sales teams are missing quota. Sales reps spend the majority of their time chasing prospects who were never going to buy - burning budget and morale.
of sales teams miss quota
Sales cycles are getting longer
Buying committees have grown. Decision timelines have stretched 38% longer. Buyers are doing more research independently - and vendors are reaching them too late.
longer average sales cycles
Marketing spend isn't converting
Pay-to-play listings, generic directories and sponsored placements serve up impressions -not intent. Buyers land on your page before they know what they need, and leave without converting.
issue: wrong-fit traffic
The problem isn't your product - it's the pipeline feeding it.
Rectec matches your solution to buyers who've already defined their requirements, so every lead already fits.
Algorithmic matching that puts you in front of the right buyer, every time.
Rectec doesn't rank by ad spend. Our platform matches buyers to vendors based on requirements they've already defined — so when your product appears, it belongs there.
Buyer defines their requirements
HR, TA and recruitment teams complete a structured needs assessment - covering features, budget, team size and integration requirements.
Our algorithm scores every match
Rectec's matching engine compares those requirements against every listed solution — producing a ranked shortlist based on fit, not marketing budget.
Your product appears - when it fits
You're surfaced to buyers who already need what you do. No cold outreach, no wasted impressions. Just warm, intent-led leads arriving in your pipeline.
You track performance in your dashboard
See how often you're matched, where you rank against competitors, and which requirement gaps are costing you shortlist appearances.

Flat monthly fee
One predictable fee covers your listing, matching, dashboard access and lead delivery. No commission, no hidden costs, no surprises.
Built to move buyers through the funnel - not just browse it.
Rectec is designed around active buying intent. Every feature is there to make it easier for a qualified buyer to choose you - and harder for them to overlook you.
Qualified by design
Buyers on Rectec have already defined their requirements before they see a single result. That means every match your listing appears in is a buyer who has told the platform what they need - and your product fits.
No pay-to-play rankings
Your position in results is determined by how well your product matches the buyer's stated needs - not how much you spend. A flat monthly fee gives every listed vendor the same algorithmic footing.
Buyers, not browsers
Rectec's audience is HR, TA and recruitment professionals with active procurement projects. They arrive with budget, authority and a brief. You're not competing for attention - you're competing on fit.
What your listing includes
- Algorithmic matching - your product surfaces when a buyer's requirements align with your capabilities, not your budget.

Not all vendor channels are the same
Here's how Rectec compares to what you're already paying for.
Most channels put your product in front of everyone - and no one in particular. Rectec is built differently. Every buyer arrives with requirements already defined, and matching is done algorithmically - not by who paid the most.
How Rectec compares for vendors
| Platform | Core model | What vendors typically pay | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rectec This platform | All solution providers are included for a flat monthly fee. Core solution providers then pay either a referral fee or a commission on close, depending on which model Rectec offers them. Point solution providers pay the listing fee only, with no commission. | £295 a month, paid annually in advance. No G2-style tiered subscription running into five figures a year before a single result is seen. | 470,000+ comparisons run, £10.5 million+ in vendor revenue generated, 1,000+ businesses across 47 countries, six industry awards since 2022. Built for recruitment and HR buying specifically, with commercial terms tied to vendor quality rather than sold on a self-serve basis. |
| G2 (incl. Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice) | Tiered annual subscription for profile visibility and buyer intent data. Now one group after G2's 2026 acquisition of Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice. | Starter from roughly £2,700 to £3,000 a year. Professional roughly £13,500 to £17,700. Enterprise roughly £21,300 to £28,300, often more with add-ons. Paid whether or not it produces a matched buyer. | Rectec's listing fee is a fraction of G2's Professional or Enterprise tiers. Core solution providers then pay a referral fee or a commission on close, so cost scales with results rather than sitting fixed regardless of outcome. |
| TrustRadius | Premium review and buyer-intelligence platform, positioned on trust and vetted long-form reviews. | Publicly anchored around £24,000 to £30,000 per product per year. Aimed at established, high-ACV vendors. | Rectec's listing fee runs at a fraction of TrustRadius's per-product anchor. The referral fee or commission for Core solution providers only applies on top when a match actually produces a result. |
| Crozdesk | General software discovery site across 370+ categories, using algorithmic scoring alongside reviews. | Free to apply for a listing, with paid lead-generation packages layered on top. Pricing is quote-based, not published. | Rectec is built specifically for recruitment and HR software buyers, not general SaaS. Matching logic reflects that vertical rather than covering hundreds of unrelated categories. |
| SelectSoftware Reviews / People Managing People | HR-focused content and advisory sites. Revenue comes from affiliate commission, sponsored placement and lead packages sold to vendors, negotiated case by case. | No published rate card. Cost is negotiated per vendor and per campaign. | Rectec's commercial terms are structured and consistent, not negotiated ad hoc per deal. Vendors know what a referral costs upfront. |
Figures for G2, TrustRadius and Crozdesk reflect published or reported market pricing as of 2026 and are provided for comparison only. Vendors should confirm current terms directly with each platform. For Core solution providers, whether Rectec offers a referral fee or a commission on close is set by Rectec based on vendor presence, product capability, track record and market share.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both pay the same flat £295 a month listing fee, paid annually in advance. Core solutions also pay a commission on year one ACV, but only on deals that came through an introduced match. Point solutions pay the listing fee only, with no commission on top.
Referral tracking is more reliable for core solution categories, where a deal can be traced clearly back to a Rectec introduction. For point solutions, attribution is less clean, so the model is structured as a marketing listing rather than a performance fee.
Yes. Commission is a flat percentage of year one ACV, applied identically across every core solution vendor. We don't vary it vendor to vendor, deliberately, so commission can never influence how a match or shortlist position is decided.
Your listing fee covers inclusion, matching and dashboard access regardless of match volume. If you're consistently seeing low match rates, your dashboard will show where the gaps are, usually a requirements or integration coverage issue, so you can address it.
The platform fee is paid annually in advance. Get in touch with the team if you want the specifics confirmed for your category before applying.
Yes. Each product goes through its own application and matching profile, since requirements and category fit are assessed separately.
