Scarce by design
Most category, specialty and market combinations hold only one or two approved Experts. You are not one of fifty proposals.
For experts
Hold a limited position in a network that sends you qualified work.
The Circle Corporation is built for professionals whose best work has always come from referrals — and who would rather protect that than chase leads.
Pre-qualified opportunities
Requests arrive with a described outcome, a timeline and a budget range, introduced by someone who believes you are the right fit.
You keep 80% of eligible fees
The Connector who made the introduction receives 20%. The split is applied automatically and shown on every project before you accept.
Funded before you begin
Clients fund each milestone up front. You know the money exists before you start the work.
No pay-to-rank
Position in the network is earned through review and performance. Advertising spend buys nothing here.
Reputation that compounds
Completed projects, approvals and client feedback build a private record that supports your next introduction.
What review looks for
- Verifiable professional experience in the category you apply for
- Relevant credentials, licences or certifications where the field requires them
- References or completed work that can be reviewed
- Clear service definition, market coverage and delivery method
- Agreement to the code of conduct and referral reward terms
If the category is full
You are placed on a private waitlist for that category, specialty and market. You are never publicly identified as waitlisted, and you are notified as soon as a position opens. Applying to an adjacent specialty or an additional market is often the fastest route in.
