From referral to placement

Refer someone you rate, or get referred yourself. When a placement sticks, the referrer earns a flat 10% commission — no recruiters, no agencies, no scramble for irrelevant CVs.

You don't need to be looking for work to join. Get on the network now, and you can refer people and earn commission whenever you like — whether or not you're open to work yourself. When you are ready for a new role, you're already in.

01
Get invited

A member vouches for you. You join under their branch — identity verified on the way in.

02
Set your availability

Mark yourself available, ending soon, in contract, or open to permanent moves. Anyone open to work appears in AI matching searches — anonymously, never linked to your current employer.

03
Get matched

When a budget-verified role fits — contract or permanent — you're shown anonymously. Employers get limited profile views and must justify each decline, so they only open candidates they're serious about.

04
Place & earn

Accept and get placed. The person who referred you earns commission — per day on contracts, or on the salary for a permanent hire — keeping the money inside the professional network.

05
Refer & multiply

Now vouch for people you trust. When they're placed, you earn recurring commission too — your network becomes your income.

For employers

You see exactly where every pound goes.

Recruiters and agencies routinely add 20–30% in hidden margin. JobReferral adds a flat 10% referrer commission and a 5% platform fee — itemised on every match, before you commit.

01
Register & verify

Sign up your organisation and get verified. Every employer is checked before roles can go live.

02
Define the resource

Tell us the role — contract or permanent — and attach a signed-off budget. AI helps scope the skills, day rate or salary, and realistic deliverables.

03
Review AI matches

See anonymous, vouched-in professionals matched to what you actually need — not a recruiter's pile of irrelevant CVs. And if there's no suitable match, we'll tell you — you can leave the vacancy open until a professional who matches marks themselves available.

04
Interview & place

Move the right people straight to interview and place them — no agency in the middle, every fee itemised up front.

05
Track & manage

Manage placements, approve timesheets and mark probation passed from one dashboard.
