Useful first. Commercial second.
Employee referral programs look simple from a distance. Offer a bonus, ask employees to refer people, and make hires. In practice, success depends on dozens of small operating decisions: how candidates are submitted, how duplicates are handled, how fast recruiters respond, how employees get updates, how rewards are paid, and how the program stays visible.
This site turns those decisions into practical resources. The goal is to help a recruiting or HR team get from a blank page to a more structured program without requiring a demo, download form, or email address.
