Access the
best off-market talent.

Someone in your network already knows your next great hire.

Refer makes it easy and frictionless to incentivize anyone, not just your coworkers, to introduce candidates to you. They earn a minimum referral bonus of $5000 for a successful hire, while hiring managers spend significantly less than traditional recruitment fees.

Why Refer

ACCESS

Meet candidates who come already recommended by people you know and might otherwise be out of reach.

SPEED

Cut down time spent sourcing and reading AI-generated applications to help you find the best talent, faster.

NO COMMISSION FEES

Reward internal or external contacts for successful hires, while saving thousands on hefty recruitment commissions and retainers.

How It Works

01

  • Describe the role and the person you’re looking for. Then, set a referral bonus to incentivize your contacts to recommend great people they know. You’ll receive a unique link to share with people you trust for referrals.

02

  • Your contacts use the link to submit people that are a great fit and a few words on why they’re awesome. If someone catches your eye, request an introduction and let the magic happen.

03

  • Meet the candidate and move forward with your usual hiring process. Once they’re hired and complete their first 30 days, the referral bonus is paid out, rewarding the referrer for helping you find the best talent!
