What It Is

Konquest is commission management software built for the recruitment and staffing industry. Its core goal is to automate commission calculations, plan configuration, clawbacks, splits, and reporting for recruiters—work that is often still handled in spreadsheets. The site repeatedly emphasizes that it is “built exclusively for the staffing industry” and uses a recruitment placement data model covering both permanent and temporary placements.

Core Features and Integrations

The product is centered on complex commission plans. It supports a plan editor, automated commission calculations, interactive statements, real-time dashboards, forecasting, manager team overrides, clawbacks, splits, burdens, thresholds, payment rules, placement rules, bonuses/spiffs, and multi-level tiered structures. It can connect to CRM, ATS, Pay & Bill, or back-office systems, with customer examples mentioning Bullhorn and InTime. When integration is not available, it also supports CSV uploads or directly adding deals/placements within the application.

Pricing and Trial

The site does not disclose plans, unit pricing, user-based billing, or implementation fees, and it does not mention a free plan or free trial. All conversion paths are Get a Demo, Book a Demo, or Request a Demo, so it appears to be a sales-led SaaS aimed at small to mid-sized and larger recruitment firms. Buyers will need to confirm pricing, implementation timelines, and data migration workload through a demo before purchasing.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its strong vertical focus and explicit support for common recruitment commission scenarios, including multiple plans, user-level thresholds, annual accrual with monthly payment, multi-person splits, cross-plan clawbacks, and manager overrides. Real-time visualization and interactive statements can also help consultants better understand and trust the calculation results. The downside is that the publicly available information lacks details on the permission model, approval workflows, security and compliance, APIs, deployment options, and pricing, making it difficult to complete a full IT evaluation based on the website alone.

Best Fit and Access from China

Konquest is best suited to recruitment firms, headhunting agencies, and staffing companies with complex commission structures that are still using spreadsheets for calculations, especially teams already using systems such as Bullhorn and InTime. Its accessibility from China cannot be determined from the available text. If a China-based team is considering it, they should verify network connectivity, overseas payment and contract arrangements, data export compliance, and compatibility with local payroll or CRM alternatives.
