FAQs

How do I apply to become a referrer?
Create a free account on Hirechain and submit a short application. We review every application to keep the network high-quality. Once approved, you can browse roles, refer candidates, and start earning immediately.
Do I need a background in recruitment?
No, but you do need to refer people you can genuinely vouch for. Hirechain is curated, and continued access depends on referral quality.
How much can I earn?
Bounties vary by role, seniority, sector, and payout structure. Every job shows the available reward and payout terms before you refer.
When do I get paid?
Each job has its own payout terms, shown before you refer. Some roles pay at interview or hire milestones, while selected roles may offer an optional instant payout. If instant payout is available, you can choose to receive payment faster in exchange for a reduced bounty.
Can I contact companies directly?
No. Hirechain manages client relationships and hiring processes. Referrers should submit candidates through the platform unless the Hirechain team explicitly agrees otherwise.
Can I use Hirechain for business development?
No. Hirechain access is for making candidate referrals, not for prospecting clients or scraping hiring information. Access can be restricted or removed if the platform is used this way.
How do I track my referrals?
Your dashboard shows real-time status for every referral - whether they're in review, interviewing, or hired - along with bounty progress and payout history.
Who should I refer?
Professionals from your network whose skills match the role requirements. Focus on people you'd personally vouch for - quality referrals build your reputation and unlock access to higher-bounty roles.
