Escrow-backed referrals · Pay only on hire

Hire through your network.
Get paid for it.

Referred is a two-sided marketplace where job seekers fund cash rewards for real introductions — and referrers get paid the moment a hire is confirmed.

🔒 Funds held in escrow✓ Only pay on successful hires⚖️ Dispute protection
For offer owners

Post a role. Fund it once. Only pay on hire.

Skip cold recruiting fees. Create an offer, lock a reward into escrow, and release it only when someone your network introduces actually gets hired.

For referrers

Refer people you know. Get paid when they land the job.

Browse funded offers, introduce candidates from your network, and collect the reward directly from escrow — no chasing invoices.

How it works

Two sides, one flow — money is only released when a hire really happens.

Offer owners
  1. 1Post a role with a reward amount and requirements.
  2. 2Fund the reward into escrow — it stays yours until a hire is confirmed.
  3. 3Review incoming referrals and accept the one that becomes your hire.
Referrers
  1. 1Browse and save funded offers that match your network.
  2. 2Introduce a candidate — submit the referral when they get hired.
  3. 3The owner accepts and escrow releases your reward straight to your payout method.

Every reward is escrowed.

The moment an offer is funded, the reward moves into a platform-held escrow. Referrers can see funding is real; owners can see their money is safe until they accept a hire.

  • ✓ Transparent platform fee shown before funding
  • ✓ Refunds available until escrow is locked to a referral
  • ✓ Admin-mediated disputes if a hire is contested
  • ✓ Payouts route to your configured payout method automatically
