That’s a fee you already earned, leaving through a door no one’s watching.
Every undetected backdoor hire comes straight off your bottom line, pure margin, already spent.

The Most Infuriating Way a Recruitment Agency Loses Money
You did everything right.
You sourced the brief. You built the shortlist. You found candidates no one else found. You submitted people you believed in.
Then the client came back: "Not quite right. We'll pass."
You moved on. Six months later, you find out by accident.
One of your submitted candidates is sitting inside that client right now. Doing the job. On the salary you found them for. No placement logged. No fee raised. No one called you.
That isn’t a lost deal.
You won that deal. You just never got paid for it.
The fee walked out the back door while no one was watching.
Here’s what stings most.
In most cases, you’re contractually entitled to that fee. Standard terms carry introduction and effective-cause provisions. If you introduced the candidate, the fee is generally owed, even months later, for a different role, or via a subsidiary.
The problem was never the contract. It was the silence after the submission.
No signal. No proof. No warning before the window closed.
Wiggli ends that silence.
Wiggli Watches the Gap Between Submission and Placement. Automatically.
Wiggli Backdoor Detection is the continuous, automated cross-reference that most agencies don’t have. It runs in the background, all the time, without any manual input from your team.
Here’s what happens at each step:
Submission is Logged the Moment It Happens
When a candidate is submitted to a client inside Wiggli, that record is created automatically. Who was submitted. To which client. On which date. It lives in the platform from the moment the candidate goes forward. Nothing to enter manually.
Employment Status Is Monitored Continuously
Wiggli monitors the employment status of every candidate you have ever submitted; using the same enrichment engine that powers your sourcing. 900M+ profiles. 87% enrichment coverage. Monthly bulk updates. Real-time sync on demand.
Your submitted candidate is already a known, tracked record inside the system.
The Cross-Reference Runs Automatically
Wiggli cross-references three signals in the background at all times:
- Your submission record (who, where, when)
- Live employment data for that candidate
- Placement records in your CRM
When signals 1 and 2 line up and signal 3 is missing, that’s a backdoor.
Wiggli fires an alert.
You Get the Signal While the Window Is Still Open
You receive the candidate name, the client, their start date, and the original submission record; surfaced the moment the data changes.
Not six months later. Not when a former colleague mentions it at an event. Now. While the evidence is fresh and the window to act is still open.
You cannot invoice a fee you don’t know you are owed.
Wiggli changes that.
Backdoor Detection sits at the most expensive moment in your revenue journey; between submission and placement, where the fee is earned but not yet logged.
Most platforms manage one stage at a time. Wiggli runs the full loop: from the first signal to the final payment. Sourcing feeds outreach. Outreach feeds the ATS. The ATS feeds submissions. Submissions are monitored. Monitored signals feed the CRM. The CRM triggers the invoice for payment.
When any link in this loop breaks, revenue leaks. Wiggli is the only platform where every link closes.
Backdoor Detection works because all three pieces of the puzzle: submissions, live employment data, and placement records… live inside the same platform.
Wiggli makes it visible as a native byproduct of holding sourcing, ATS, CRM, and enrichment in one place.
One platform. The complete revenue journey. Signal to payment.

Questions from founders who've been doing the math on what they never invoiced.
Wiggli runs a continuous cross-reference in the background. It compares your submission records (who you submitted, to which client, on what date) against live employment data for every submitted candidate. When a candidate's employment record shows they have started at the exact client you submitted them to, and no matching placement exists in your Wiggli CRM, the system fires an alert. You receive the candidate name, the client, the start date, and the original submission record, automatically.
No. Wiggli Backdoor Detection runs automatically from the moment a submission is created in the platform. Your team doesn’t need to maintain any separate tracking system. There are no check-in calls, no manual audits, and no spreadsheet to update. The monitoring runs in the background at all times.
Wiggli monitors candidate employment status using the same enrichment engine powering the sourcing suite. It covers 900M+ profiles at 87% enrichment coverage. Data refreshes via monthly bulk updates with real-time sync available on demand. This means signals surface while the window to act is still open (not months after the fact).
No, the platform surfaces the signal and hands you the evidence: the candidate's name, start date, client, and original submission record. Recovery is still your conversation with the client, backed by your terms of business. What Wiggli changes is that you have that conversation in time, with proof, while the contractual window is still open. Most backdoor fees aren’t lost because the contract is weak. They’re lost because no one knew in time to act.
Yes. Wiggli monitors all submitted candidates against client employment data, regardless of the original role type. Contractor-to-permanent conversions and direct re-engagements that bypass conversion fees are among the most common and least-tracked forms of leakage in the industry. Wiggli detects these the same way it detects permanent backdoors by cross-referencing submission records, employment data, and CRM placement records automatically.
The detection system grows with your submission history inside Wiggli. The longer you run on the platform, the larger the monitored set of past submissions, and the more historical leakage the system can surface and close. For historical submissions made outside Wiggli, the system can’t retroactively monitor what was not logged in the platform.
Yes. Wiggli is GDPR-compliant. The employment enrichment data used for Backdoor Detection is sourced from the same provider network used for candidate sourcing and has cleared legal review for agencies operating across the U.S., UK, and EU. Your legal team will not need to build a compliance workaround.
Bullhorn, Vincere, and Recruiterflow manage candidates inside a pipeline. None of them continuously monitor post-submission employment changes across a 900M+ enrichment database, cross-reference those changes against live placement records, and fire an alert when a backdoor condition is met. That cross-reference is only possible when sourcing, ATS, CRM, and enrichment live in the same platform… which is the architectural difference Wiggli was built on. Backdoor Detection isn’t an add-on. It’s a native and ready on day one.
