Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?
No. There is absolutely no limit. If you refer 10 Staff Engineers who get hired, we will pay you $50,000. We have several power-referrers who make six figures annually just by connecting their network.
When do I receive the payout?
Payouts are processed 90 days after the candidate’s start date. This probation period ensures the match is successful for both the client and the engineer.
Can I refer myself?
No, you cannot earn a referral bonus for your own application. However, you can apply normally and enjoy a high-paying remote career!
