The best hires come through trust, not CV piles
Turn that into your hiring advantage with WIP’s Referrals 3.0 engine
Hiring mistakes are expensive
And traditional sourcing makes them more likely.
- Job boards overload recruiters with irrelevant candidates
- Interview fatigue drains your team while frustrating applicants
- Up to 2× annual salary lost per bad hire
- Internal referral programs often underperform due to insufficient incentives and lack of accountability

- Every candidate comes with context, not just a CV.
- Every referrer puts their name and a small stake behind the person they recommend.
- You only pay when it works. No hire, no fee.

FAQ
How is WIP different from a recruitment agency? WIP isn’t an agency. You post a role, set your reward, and only pay when the hire is made. Referrals come from people who genuinely know the candidates.
Do we pay anything upfront? No setup fees or retainers, you only pay once your hire starts.
Can we use WIP for internal referrals too? Yes. Run employee and external referrals in one place. We handle posting, documents, and payouts for you.
How do you ensure referrals are genuine? Every referrer completes KYC and stakes $20 per referral, a small signal of real trust.
When is the reward released to referrer? You choose the guarantee window, usually 30–60 days after the hire starts.
