Frequently Asked
Everything you need to know before applying.
When DoorKey introduces you to a client and you close a paid engagement, you remit 5% of the gross project value. There are no upfront fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no costs if you don't close. It's fully aligned with your success.
Typically 3–7 business days from application receipt to decision. We review every application manually, so the timeline depends slightly on application volume. You'll always receive a status update within 48 hours of submission.
No. While DoorKey is headquartered in Indianapolis, our vetted network includes remote and distributed professionals. Client matching can happen locally or regionally depending on the engagement type.
We stay involved. DoorKey acts as a neutral third party when issues arise between clients and partners. We want both sides to succeed, and our reputation depends on it. If a match truly isn't working, we help find a better solution.
Absolutely. We welcome both individual practitioners and full-service agencies. For agencies, our vetting process evaluates the team and delivery process as a whole rather than just individual credentials.
No hard floor, but the typical engagement matched through DoorKey starts in the $1,500–$5,000 range for Tier 1 clients, with larger retainers and project fees at Tiers 2 and 3. We focus on quality matches, not minimum spend.
