@zuhayeer There is a fundamental problem with this idea. The employees geting paid is equivalent to being bribed. How do I know? I built a similar platform bagt.com over an year ago and archived it after finding the negative side of it. The only legal way is to get paid by the company not employees.

@zuhayeer @ram_rayavarapu Appreciate the candor here. Employees have to go and screen a number of candidates to determine who might be a good fit for the company. This process benefits the company and is time consuming, hence the fee. I would imagine that there will be bad actors who wouldn't thoroughly screen applicants. We'll have to take measures in the future to make sure that the ecosystem creates a mutual benefit for the company, employee and the candidate. Let me know if this explains it. And feel free to ping me if you have any more questions!

@abdella6if hey not to discourage but help. If the company pays their own employees for bringing referral, that would be legal. If the employees getting paid by outside companies for internal positions, it's rare they choose most qualified over most paid! You will understand when you give it a close look. Let talk after you understand this.

Hey everyone! My good friend Abdellatif just launched Referral HQ as a way for folks in tech to get referrals at top companies even if they may not be as well connected or established on paper! It's a great way for people to help each other out and root for the underdogs! ✌️

@zuhayeer @shreyaa_ratra We got a few people from Google, Facebook, Uber and Amazon lined up pre-launch to satisfy the initial need. And we're hoping to get more folks signed up with the beta launch!
