Invite a startup to post a role Paraform and earn up to $2,500
By John Kim
Know a startup that needs help hiring? Refer them to Paraform and get rewarded, whether you're a recruiter on Paraform, a company currently hiring using Paraform, or just someone who knows some hiring managers looking for recruiting help!
We have different referral incentives for different user types:
- Paraform recruiters: 10% commission on revenue from referred companies
- Paraform customers: $300 off for you, $300 off for the company you refer
- Everyone else: $1000 if the company you refer makes a hire
1. The ideal startup
We're open to any startup that's hiring, but here's a few things we look for:
- Seed to Series B - We're focused on helping early and growth stage startups hire their first employees and hyperscale their teams
- Software engineers or GTM - A lot of our recruiters and tooling is built for engineering and early GTM (sales, growth, marketing) hiring
- Niche roles - We're confident we can help startups hire for harder-to-fill or niche roles, such as AI researchers, engineers with rare skillsets, robotics engineers, candidates with specific industry expertise, and more
- Recently fundraised - If a startup has recently raised, they're more likely looking to scale their team quickly
These are just a few things we look for, but we're open to speaking with any startup that might be looking for external recruiting help.
