From introduction
to interview, in days
Build your profile or post a role
Jobseekers create profiles to showcase their skillsets, referrers sign up to refer talent from their network, and employers post roles to tap into trusted referrals.
Get referred by peers
Opportunities move through people. Share the referral link with someone you think is perfect for the role; if they apply through your link, you are recognised as the one who referred them.
AI ranks the signal
Preferrd weights skills, experience and referral credibility to surface the strongest matches first.
Meet. Hire. Reward.
Jobseekers are discovered more quickly by employers, while referrers earn rewards for each successful connection.
Hire with real candidate insight
Every candidate profile shows the full picture: who referred them, the AI fit-score, and what they actually worked on.
Signal, not noise
From both sides of the table
“We closed two senior roles in 11 days from Preferrd — both through referrals inside the product community. Our old pipeline could not touch that.”
“For the first time in a job search I did not feel invisible. Three referrals, two hiring managers replied the same day. Got the offer in under two weeks.”
“I have referred 7 people in 4 months. Two placed. I am building a proper side-income doing something I was already doing for free on LinkedIn.”

Good questions, straight answers
How is Preferrd different from LinkedIn or a recruiter?
LinkedIn relies on algorithmic discovery and cold outreach. Recruiters charge big retainers and rarely know the applicants personally. Preferrd only surfaces applicants who have been actively referred by a peer — with context, specificity, and a reputation on the line.
Who can become a referrer?
Anyone with domain credibility. We verify track record through platform usage: your referral reputation score increases with each successful placement, each endorsement, and each peer referral given to you.
How are referrer payouts structured?
You earn a percentage of the placement fee when someone you referred gets hired and stays past the 90-day mark. Average payout is £350; top referrers earn £1,000+ per placement. Payouts scale with your reputation tier.
Do you replace our ATS?
No — Preferrd sits on top. We sync applicants, stages, and notes with Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, and Workday so your team keeps their existing workflow.
What makes the AI scoring trustworthy?
Our scoring is weighted by referrer credibility, not just keyword match. Referrals from peers with strong track records count more. Every score comes with an explanation you can audit.
