These are the Priority Review terms in effect from platform launch through July 14, 2026. This page is preserved for historical purposes so receipts issued during that window continue to link to the exact terms the payer agreed to at the time.
For current terms (in effect for all payments on or after July 15, 2026), see /help/priority-review.
Priority Review
A transparent, paid visibility feature that places your application on a separate priority shortlist for the hiring team — without changing your merit score.
At a glance
- Your application is featured first on a separate priority shortlist the hiring team sees.
- Your merit score and completeness ranking are completely unchanged.
- You gain access to application improvement suggestions based on what this role prioritizes.
- The hiring team is informed that your placement is sponsored. Full transparency, always.
How Priority Review works
When you activate Priority Review, your application is routed to a dedicated sponsored shortlist that hiring teams can review independently of the standard applicant queue. Your profile card is marked as a featured application so reviewers know your placement was sponsored — we never misrepresent your standing.
You must score above the 30th percentile among applicants for the same role to qualify. This threshold exists to protect hiring teams from low-signal submissions and to ensure the priority channel delivers real value to recruiters.
What Priority Review does not do
Priority Review is a visibility layer only. It does not:
- Alter your completeness score or any algorithmic ranking
- Move your application into the standard applicant list ahead of others
- Guarantee an interview, callback, or hiring decision
- Hide or suppress any other candidate's application
Every candidate on the standard list is evaluated on exactly the same criteria as before. Priority Review adds a separate channel — it does not tilt the existing one.
Application improvement suggestions
Once Priority Review is active, SourceHire unlocks a set of targeted suggestions specific to this role. These are derived from the structured profile data already on file and from the signals the hiring team has indicated matter most for the position — skills, certifications, portfolio evidence, and so on.
Suggestions are offered as guidance, not guarantees. Acting on them may increase your completeness score over time, but Priority Review itself is not contingent on making any changes.
How SourceHire keeps it fair
We built Priority Review around a strict set of principles:
- 1Full disclosure to hiring teams. Recruiters and hiring managers can always see which applications arrived through the sponsored channel. There is no concealed mixing with organic applicants.
- 2Eligibility threshold. Only candidates above the 30th percentile qualify. This keeps the priority channel credible and useful for hiring teams — and meaningful for you.
- 3One activation per application. You can activate Priority Review once for a given application. Repeated purchases on the same role are not permitted.
- 4Merit scoring is ring-fenced. The system that computes completeness scores, match scores, and percentile rankings has no connection to the payments layer. A purchase cannot influence any algorithmic output.
- 5Hiring teams opt in. Employers choose whether to enable the priority channel for a role when they list it. If a hiring team has not enabled it, Priority Review is not offered for that position.
