How will I know if my friend signed up?
You’ll receive an email notification from us if someone uses your referral link.
What if my friend doesn’t land a new job?
Good things take time. If your friend is hired later, you will still qualify to receive your reward for referring them. Feel free to refer more than one person in your network to increase your chances. There is no limit on the number of referrals you can make!

How will I know if my friend was hired?
We’ll reach out with your bonus! If not, it’s likely no one you referred was hired yet or you forgot to use your referral link. Keep in mind that without this link we’re unable to track a referral back to you.
If you’re positive a friend was hired and you haven’t heard anything, feel free to contact a member of the Candidate Experience Team or email support@hired.com.
Are there ever special referral bonuses?
Yes! Keep checking hired.com/invite and keep an eye out for emails about limited edition promotions.
What happens if my friend gets approved on Hired?
They’ll be visible to all of our employers seeking top tech and sales talent. As for you, just sit back and wait for them to get hired so you can receive your $1000 bonus!
