Healthy Competition Drives Results
A real-time leaderboard ranks employees by referrals, hires, or scout points — configurable per company. Transparency creates momentum, recognition creates habit.

Real Money, Real Motivation
A separate, parallel payout system tied to hiring outcomes — not coins. Three reward types, all with full status tracking and compliance controls.
Fixed Rewards
Flat cash payouts triggered when a referral reaches a specific hiring milestone. Simple, predictable, instant.
- Set per hiring stage (applied, interviewed, hired)
- Configurable amount per company
- Automatic payout on status change
Example
$500 when your referral is hired
Tiered Rewards
Escalating payouts based on monthly referral volume. The more you refer, the more each referral earns.
- Configurable tier brackets (e.g., 1-5, 6-10, 11+)
- Monthly batch processing with snapshots
- Amount locked at creation to prevent drift
Example
1-5 referrals: $200/ea → 6-10: $350/ea → 11+: $500/ea
Retention Bonuses
Rewards that fire when a referral stays for a specific duration. Both referrer and referee must be active.
- Triggers at configurable month milestone
- Both parties must remain active
- One-time payout per referral
Example
$250 bonus after referral stays 6 months
Payout Status Lifecycle
If a user is suspended, all their payouts go on hold. On reactivation, they return to eligible or overdue — ensuring compliance while preserving earned rewards.
