Your CV joins a pile of four hundred. A filter reads it before a person ever does — if a person ever does.

One referral

Referral requestedaccepted
“Happy to put you forward — quick question first.”
Referred internally

Someone inside the company puts your name forward, with their reputation attached. That gets read.

How it works

Three steps, one open door

Post or request a referral

Referrers list open roles at their company. Seekers browse and ask for an introduction to the ones that actually fit.

Takes about two minutes either way.

A fit summary, in plain words

We read the CV against the role and write a few honest sentences — what lines up, what doesn't.

No score. No ranking. No verdict.

A person decides

The referrer reads it, talks to you if they want to, and chooses. Then they put you forward inside their company.

Nothing is auto-filtered. Nobody is auto-rejected.

What the referrer receives

Fit summary

Advisory only

Six years building payment systems in Go, most recently owning a ledger service handling reconciliation at scale. The Postgres and distributed-systems requirements are well covered. Card-scheme integration isn't evidenced anywhere in the CV.

Lines up with

  • 6 years Go in production, matching the core requirement
  • Owned a ledger service — direct payments-domain experience
  • Postgres at scale, including schema migrations under load

Not shown in the CV

  • No card-scheme or PCI experience
  • No mention of team leadership

No score. No ranking. No recommendation. The referrer decides.

Once they accept

Referral request accepted

Happy to put you forward. Quick one — did you work on the reconciliation side or just the ingest?
Both — I owned reconciliation end to end for about two years. Happy to walk through it.

Perfect. Submitting you this afternoon.

— the thing we're building this for

Trust & safety

A door opened honestly

We're not here to sell you a guarantee. We're here to make the introduction real.

LinkedIn-verified people

Both sides sign in through LinkedIn, so the person offering to refer you is a real, identifiable human — not an anonymous account.

Ratings both ways, blind

After a referral you rate each other, and neither sees the other's until both have submitted. That's what stops traded five-stars and revenge one-stars.

Honest about the odds

A referral isn't a guaranteed job, and we say so before you send your first one. It's a real conversation with a real person. The rest is still up to you.

Straight answers

The questions worth asking

Does the AI decide whether I get referred?

No — and it structurally can't. It writes a few sentences about how your background lines up with the role, and that's the entire extent of it. There's no score, no ranking, and no ability to filter you out of anyone's queue. Every request reaches a human, who decides and can change their mind. If our AI service went down tomorrow, referrals would still work; you'd just see fewer summaries.

What does it cost?

Nothing, if you're looking for work. No fees, no subscription, no premium tier — not now and not later. The only thing anyone pays for is a referrer choosing to feature their listing higher in the feed, and that's optional.

How does the referrer get paid?

By their own employer. Most companies pay a referral bonus for a successful hire, and plenty of people never claim it because they don't know anyone to refer. Referly doesn't pay for placements and doesn't take a cut of one — deliberately.

Why do you need my CV?

It's the only substantial thing we have to work with. LinkedIn's sign-in gives us your name, email and photo — not your work history. Your CV is what the fit summary actually reads. A referrer can only open the file after they've accepted your request, and if you don't sign in for 12 months we delete it automatically.

Is a referral a guaranteed interview?

No. It puts you in front of a person instead of a filter, which is a genuinely different starting position — but the company still decides. We show you this before you send your first request, because a marketplace built on an overpromise doesn't last.
