From open role to signed offer.
Publish the role
Set the salary band, the referral reward and whether your brand is visible.
Referrals arrive
Matched referrers put forward people they know, with written context on the relationship.
Run your process
Review, shortlist and move candidates through your own pipeline or your ATS.
One consolidated invoice
Your Pilot or Platform plan is charged when you subscribe. Everything else — £25 per direct referral, £100 per Verified referral (identified profiles cost nothing), plus the hire reward you set on each role — lands on a single monthly invoice, within a spend cap you control.
Everything a TA team needs to run it properly.

Push referrals into your ATS through native integrations or webhooks, with two-way status sync.
Confidential searches
Anonymise your company details on sensitive roles while keeping the referral quality intact.
Reporting that stands up
Source, stage, time-to-shortlist and cost-per-hire on every campaign you run.

The same coverage, a very different invoice.
