Bounty - Get paid for referring friends to jobs 💰

Hey everyone! I’m Tina, co creator of Bounty, along with Cameron Kelley. Bounty is the best way to help friends land jobs and get paid (a lot) along the way. We’re hoping this: 1) Becomes a great side hustle for well connected folks. 2) Helps companies hire faster than ever before. This project started because we were seeing other founders posting bounties or referral bonuses ad hoc on Twitter. They would offer thousands if someone intro’d them to a candidate they hired. Excited by what we were seeing, we set out to create a platform that would aggregate bounties in one place and manage the process end to end. Here’s how it works if you’re interested in referring: • 🔍 Find a bounty on our site or newsletter. • 🎯 Refer candidates you know through our referral form, it’ll take < 1 min. • ➡️ Share the bounty to increase your odds and get a cut of the sharing bonus. • 💰 Get paid when your actions lead to a hire. Here’s how it works if you’re interested in posting a bounty: • 💵 Set your bounty amount. We'll handle paying it out. • 🔗 Increase reach by adding a sharing bonus to incentivize people to pass on your bounty. • 👩🏻‍💻 Triage incoming referrals in your dashboard. • ✨ There’s no upfront costs. You’ll only pay if you end up hiring someone. Super excited to be sharing Bounty with the PH community. Would love to hear your feedback, questions, and ideas!

This is a great way of incentivising the whole job referral system to open up. Good work, Cameron and Tina!

Nice concept. Payout is on the employee side or on your side?

Such a great idea!

I like the idea, it's much more comfortable to have such information appearing in one particular place. Wish you succeed!

Great idea! Actually there is a huge successful platform called Wanted based on S.Korea (you can search wanted jobs via Google). It's also a job platform where friends can get rewards to refer his/her friends for the job. It's really working well in my country, so I'm so sure that your site can work in a global level too!

Congrats @ckelley and @tina_jiang2!!! 🚀

This is amazing! As you get more and more bounties on the platform, do you have any plans to enhance discoverability? Ie, perhaps I work in the healthcare tech industry, and I get notifications every time a bounty for someone in my particular industry is posted?

Congrats on launching! Super useful for startups looking to get their first hires too!

Looks really cool. What a great way to leverage your network when hiring!

Love how this makes the recruiting process so much more straightforward, great work y'all!

Wow this is a great idea and super unique!

Great idea, even better execution!!

Really cool product, definitely lowers the friction when hiring within your network. Great job y'all!

This is amazing! I’m always referring friends to cool opps I find; super excited to get compensated for it now! :)

This looks awesome! Congrats on the launch, guys; looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Awesome concept!! Ditto to everyone else - I'm constantly referring people in and out of jobs, so this is a cool way to consolidate. Hopefully you can leverage this network-driven approach to support underrepresented groups as well! I know the "network" is often inaccessible to underrepresented groups in tech, and this might democratize access.

What a cool concept, go Tina!

this is incredible! streamlines and adds transparency to a crucial process!

Congrats on the launch! @tina_jiang2 It would be great if you can add some sort of expertise tags, so recruiters would be able to sort faster and with higher quality. For example: you know C++, you recommend someone for C++ position, and this recommendation would have more weight in the eyes of a recruiter or a hiring manager.
