Every week, colleagues and friends ask employees for referrals. Doing it informally can be time consuming. A structured platform helps you reach qualified candidates, share roles and refer people who fit, without your inbox filling up.
Why employees become referrers
- Referral bonuses: Many companies pay a bonus when a referred candidate joins and completes a probation period. Check your own company's policy.
- Better teammates: You know your team's needs, so you can recommend people who will fit.
- Professional network: Helping others builds goodwill and visibility.
- Faster hiring: Open roles on your team get filled sooner.

Become a referrerFrequently asked questions
Do I get paid for referring candidates?
Referral bonuses are set by your employer, not Doogler. Check your company's referral policy for eligibility, amounts and conditions.
Is Doogler free for referrers?
Creating a referrer account is free. Refer only candidates you believe are a good fit, and never charge or accept fees from candidates.
What if a referred candidate is not selected?
That is normal. A referral gives the candidate a stronger chance of being reviewed, but the hiring team decides. Your reputation depends on referring well-matched candidates.
