ReferralBonus

edit

Recruiting agencies are expensive, often $10k-$25k. Job board postings cost hundreds upfront with zero guarantee. Job board postings also result in hundreds of candidates with no quality filter.

ReferralBonus automates the candidate matching process for our users from their social network connections and incents them to refer friends through cash rewards. ReferralBonus extends the referral bonus program to non-employees essentially creating an army of outside talent scouts.

ReferralBonus crowdsources candidates from the people that know them best - their peers that have worked with them before. ReferralBonus also plans to become the world’s largest charitable donation engine by encouraging referrers to donate their rewards to charities of their choice if they wish to.

ReferralBonus was a 2012 SXSW Interactive Accelerator competition Finalist & named a 2012 MassHighTech 5 Startups To Watch!
