Great recruiters know that top talent runs in tight circles and so do we. That’s why we’re opening Paraform’s Candidate Referral Program, a simple way for late stage candidates and recent hires to introduce up to three of their most talented friends and earn $5,000 for every successful placement. The hardest part of recruiting is getting top talent to respond to cold outreach, but warm intros from your candidates drive response rates over 60% higher.
Each candidate you have sourced will have a unique referral link that you can send to the candidate, allowing them to invite up to 3 of their strongest friends to you directly, unlocking warm intros and helping you expand your pipeline effortlessly.
All you need to do is send the unique link to the candidate. The candidate can share the link with their friends and Paraform does the rest – their referrals are automatically created as candidate records in your candidates page. Each friend is tagged to the original candidate, so you always know where the lead came from and we handle all the payments.
We incentivize your candidates with $5,000 per referral so you can access their networks, fill roles faster, and keep 100% of your placement fees. It’s effortless, all they have to do is drop have their friend upload two fields: LinkedIn url and email. We also offer over 500 roles from some of the best companies in the world like Palantir, Cursor, Windsurf, Ramp and Decagon hire where candidates can get fast tracked to interviews.
When a candidate's friend fills out the referral form, they can immediately book time on your calendar.
1. Go to paraform.com/candidates and click into a candidate
2. Copy the candidate’s unique referral link and ask them to share it with their strongest friends
