The trusted referral network

    Great hiring starts with a personal referral — beyond your own team

    Everyone knows someone brilliant. Linillo opens referral hiring beyond your immediate network, turning personal recommendations into warm introductions with confirmed candidate interest.

    Real working context. Confirmed interest. Zero upfront cost; pay only when you hire.

    Why a trusted referral network

    Everyone trusts an introduction. Now you can use more than your own.

    Employee introductions are the best hires most teams make, but your staff only know so many people. Linillo opens that channel to a far wider network of professionals.

    Questions

    Frequently asked

    What is Linillo?
    A trusted referral network for hiring. Companies post roles free, and professionals introduce people they genuinely know and recommend — so you reach great candidates through a personal connection rather than a cold approach, and pay only on a confirmed hire.
    How is that different from an employee introduction scheme?
    It is the same idea, opened up. Instead of relying only on the people your own staff happen to know, your role reaches a much wider group of professionals who can make a warm introduction.
    How much does it cost?
    Posting roles and receiving introductions is free. There is no subscription. You only pay the hire reward you set on the role, and only when you hire.
    Who can make an introduction?
    Anyone with a genuine professional relationship to the candidate. They explain how they know the person, the candidate agrees before anything is shared, and they earn a share of the reward if the hire happens.
    Does Linillo work with our ATS?
    Yes. Introductions can be pushed straight into your existing applicant tracking system through native and webhook integrations.
