Admin Gated
From Discovery to Payout
A streamlined 7-step journey that takes external referrers from finding your landing page to earning real rewards.
Discover
Find the company's custom-branded public landing page — a unique, company-controlled URL designed to attract external referrers.
Sign Up
Self-register with email and password. You immediately enter a verification queue for admin review.
Get Verified
An admin reviews and approves (or rejects) your application. Approved referrers are notified instantly.
Add Payment Details
Provide both monetary (bank, PayPal, GCash) and physical address details before you can start referring.
Get Referral Link
Receive a generic link to share broadly, or job-specific links to target candidates for specific open roles.
Refer Candidates
Applicants click your link and apply. The job application is automatically created and tied back to you as the referrer.
Earn Rewards
As your referrals progress through hiring stages, payouts — fixed, tiered, or retention-based — are triggered and tracked.
Built for People Who Know Talent
External referrers come from all walks of life. What they have in common: connections to quality candidates and the motivation to be rewarded for sharing them.
Recruiters & Headhunters
Professional networkers with large talent pools who use job-specific links to place candidates in targeted roles.
Industry Insiders
Domain experts in tech, finance, healthcare, and more — people who know strong candidates but aren't employees. Motivated by cash payouts.
Alumni Networks
Former employees or community members with existing trust and connections but no active employment relationship.
Gig & Freelance Community
People who treat referral programs as a side income stream, especially where local wallet payouts like GCash and Maya are supported.
Three Ways to Get Paid
Companies configure reward structures per role. External referrers earn through one or more payout models — all tracked with full status lifecycle.
Fixed Rewards
Flat cash payouts triggered when a referral reaches a specific hiring milestone — applied, interviewed, or hired.
Tiered Rewards
Escalating payouts based on monthly referral volume. The more you refer, the more each referral earns.
Retention Bonuses
Rewards that fire when a referral stays for a specific duration. Both referrer and the hire must remain active.
Flexible Payment Methods
External referrers can receive payouts via bank transfer, PayPal, GCash, and other local payment methods. Physical rewards with address-based delivery are also supported.
What Makes External Referrals Different
External referrals are intentionally a higher-trust, higher-intent funnel. The company vets who can refer before they participate — unlike typical open referral programs.
Built on Trust by Design
Every aspect of the external referrer program is designed to ensure quality, accountability, and transparency for both companies and referrers.
Admin-Gated Verification
Every external referrer must be reviewed and approved by an admin before they can participate. No anonymous referrals.
Mandatory Payment Setup
Referrers must provide verified payment details and a physical address before they can submit any referrals.
Full Transparency
Every referral, application, and payout is tracked with a complete audit trail. Companies have full visibility.
High-Intent Funnel
The verification and payment gates ensure only serious, high-intent referrers participate — filtering out noise.
