I went from one interview a month to four interviews in two weeks. Roles I never would have found myself.

Refreshing to apply somewhere that actually shows you why you're a fit. Way better than scrolling LinkedIn.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Who can become an ambassador?
Anyone over 18 in the UK or US. India and other markets follow soon. You don't need to be a hackajob candidate yourself, and you don't need to be a recruiter or content creator. If you know good people who are open to new roles, you can refer them.
How does the £500 reward work?
When someone you referred accepts a job offer through hackajob, both you and they receive £500 (or $500 in the US, India equivalent following). It's a double-sided reward triggered when the offer is signed — not at signup, not at interview.
How do I get paid?
Payouts go out via Tremendous as soon as we approve your reward. You'll receive an email letting you choose your payout rail — bank transfer, PayPal, gift card and more, depending on your country. Gift cards arrive instantly; bank transfers settle in 1-3 business days.
Is there a cap on how many people I can refer?
No cap. Refer one person or two hundred. Every successful hire pays £500 to you and £500 to your referral. We do flag unusually high volumes for review (anti-fraud) but legitimate referrals always get paid.
What happens if my referral signs up but doesn't get hired?
No reward is paid unless they accept a job offer through hackajob. You'll see them in your dashboard at every step (clicked, signed up, went live, hired) so you know exactly where things stand.
Can I refer myself?
No — self-referrals are blocked automatically and any duplicate signups across multiple ambassador links are flagged. The point of the programme is to bring net-new candidates into hackajob.
What about tax?
You're responsible for declaring referral income to the relevant tax authority (HMRC in the UK, IRS in the US, etc.). We don't withhold tax — the reward is paid in full to your account. Talk to an accountant if you're unsure.
Does this replace the existing in-product referral?
No — the in-product 'Refer a friend' feature on hackajob still exists for candidates already on the platform. This ambassador programme runs alongside it, opening referrals to anyone, not just signed-up candidates.
