Send resume into the void, hope for the best.
The average online application gets a 2–5% response. Recruiters skim hundreds of resumes a day. Even a great candidate looks identical to noise.

How it works
Three steps to a warm door
- Step 1
Add your real contacts
Paste the LinkedIn profiles of the people who'd actually vouch for you - former colleagues, managers, close friends.
- Step 2
We find the open jobs
We scan their employers' careers pages - Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby - and surface roles that fit your background.
- Step 3
Ask with one tap
We pre-draft the referral message with the job title, link, and referral code. Your friend acts in under 3 minutes.

Common questions
What people ask
How much more likely am I to get hired with a referral?
Referred candidates have about a 28.5% chance of being hired, versus 2.7% for cold applicants - roughly 10× the odds (Zippia, 2024).
Is this different from just using LinkedIn?
Yes. LinkedIn shows you 900 loose connections. We focus on the small number of real contacts who would actually vouch for you and pass your resume to their hiring team.
Do I have to ask friends awkward questions?
No. We pre-draft a short message with the job title, link, and referral code. Your friend can paste it into their referral form in 3 minutes.
What does it cost?
Free during beta. We'll always tell you upfront before charging anything - no credit card required to join.
Your friends already have the door open.
