How it works
Three steps. No spreadsheets.
From job post to bonus payout, every step runs on autopilot.
Employees share roles
Send a unique link, generate a QR code, email contacts, or post to LinkedIn — all from the employee portal. Every share is tracked back to them.
Candidates apply
Applications flow into your pipeline with the referrer attached. Watch candidate status change in real time — no manual tagging, no missed credit.
Employees earn
Points hit instantly when a referral applies; cash bonuses trigger on hire. Achievements unlock as employees move up the leaderboard.
