Sourcing fees, candidate stipends,
global signing bonuses — automated.
Recruiting integrations can use configured card and payout resources for eligible recipients. Availability, controls and authorization depend on the account and selected route.
Why the corporate card
doesn't work for this agent.
Sourcing tools want a card
LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, hireEZ, Findem — each wants a corporate card on file. Recruiters end up sharing one Amex. When someone leaves, you rotate the PAN and break 14 integrations at once.
Candidate stipends are slow
Wiring a $500 interview travel stipend to a candidate in Bogotá takes 3 days, costs $30, and lands as $440 after FX. The candidate ghosts. Conversion drops.
Signing bonuses leak
A $25k signing bonus is a finance ticket, two approvals, a wire fee, and a 1099-NEC reconciliation problem. By the time it lands, the candidate has accepted somewhere else.
Everything this agent needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
From mandate to settlement.
Agent picks candidate
Recruiting agent pulls a shortlist from LinkedIn + Gem, pays the sourcing fees on per-source cards, ranks candidates against the rubric.
Travel + stipend
For recruiting workflows, payment and refund options depend on the configured provider, route and recipient. Confirm eligibility, fees and settlement estimates before execution; no measured speed or savings are promised.
Bonus mandate
Hiring manager + comp partner co-sign an IntentMandate for the signing bonus. Agent holds the mandate until the candidate signs the offer letter.
Wire on accept
For recruiting workflows, payment and refund options depend on the configured provider, route and recipient. Confirm eligibility, fees and settlement estimates before execution; no measured speed or savings are promised.

Why recruiters need a wallet, not a corporate card.
A modern recruiting team runs against 15+ paid platforms — LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, hireEZ, Findem, Talent.com, BrightHire, Calendly — plus candidate travel, candidate stipends, and signing bonuses that need to land instantly. One corporate Amex with 4 recruiters and 12 platforms on file is a security and operational nightmare. When a recruiter leaves, rotating the PAN breaks every integration; when a platform has a billing bug, finance can't tell which $4,200 charge was the bug.
A recruiting agent on AgentWallet provisions one scoped virtual card per platform, each with its own monthly cap and merchant lock. LinkedIn's card can only charge LinkedIn, capped at $2k/month. If LinkedIn's billing system charges twice, you see it instantly; if a recruiter leaves, you revoke their agent and their cards die without affecting anyone else's tools.
Candidate stipends that don't kill conversion.
For recruiting workflows, payment and refund options depend on the configured provider, route and recipient. Confirm eligibility, fees and settlement estimates before execution; no measured speed or savings are promised.
The agent ingests the candidate record from your ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday Recruiting), reads the candidate's country and preferred rail, and fires the stipend the moment the interview is scheduled. The candidate gets a push notification 60 seconds later showing the funds in their bank app. Recruiter conversion goes up; payroll team time goes down.
Signing bonuses that close the offer.
Signing bonuses are time-sensitive: the moment the candidate accepts, the bonus needs to land before they second-guess. Traditionally this is a finance ticket → comp approval → CFO approval → wire setup → 3-day settlement. The candidate has 72 hours to back out; the bonus arrives on day 4.
For recruiting workflows, payment and refund options depend on the configured provider, route and recipient. Confirm eligibility, fees and settlement estimates before execution; no measured speed or savings are promised.
Clawback, refund, and the 7-day window.
Signing bonuses with no clawback are an unbounded liability. The standard pattern: if a candidate accepts a competing offer within 7 days, the bonus is refundable. AgentWallet captures this as policy on the agent: every signing bonus is tagged with a clawback window, and the agent automatically issues a refund request through the original rail if the offer is rescinded.
For recruiting workflows, configure supported caps, approvals and provider-specific card rules. Enforcement varies by route; multi-signature, anomaly-freeze and guaranteed-recovery behavior are not promised.
Common questions.
- Can the agent run sourcing platform charges on a single card per recruiter, or per platform?
- Per platform is the recommended default. The agent provisions one virtual card per sourcing tool with a merchant lock, a monthly cap, and an issuance ID. Per-recruiter cards are supported but lose the merchant-lock benefit.
- What ATS systems are supported?
- Native webhook ingestion for Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Workday Recruiting, and SmartRecruiters. Anything with an outbound webhook can be wired in 15 minutes.
- How are signing bonuses taxed?
- AgentWallet ships the payout — tax treatment is your responsibility. Every payout includes recipient identity capture (TIN for US, equivalent for other jurisdictions) and exports cleanly to Deel, Remote, or Rippling for year-end filings (1099-NEC in the US, equivalent in 47 other countries).
- What's the fastest rail for a candidate stipend?
- Settlement timing depends on the route, provider, recipient and compliance checks. Confirm estimates for the specific payment before sending.
- Can a recruiter agent exceed its monthly budget?
- For recruiting workflows, configure supported caps, approvals and provider-specific card rules. Enforcement varies by route; multi-signature, anomaly-freeze and guaranteed-recovery behavior are not promised.
- Does the agent handle international hire signing bonuses?
- Yes. The agent picks the cheapest local rail for the recipient's country (e.g., SEPA Instant for an EU hire, Pix for a Brazilian hire) and captures the recipient's tax ID in the local format. Settlement is typically under a minute.
