The mechanism
How it works
Browse real openings
Every opening on ReferReady is posted by an employee at that company who can refer candidates into it.
Request a referral
The employee reviews your profile and resume. If it fits, they submit you through their company’s internal referral system, flagged as “referred” and read by a human.
Track it to the offer
You see every status change, from submitted to interviewing to hired, with email updates at each step.

Common questions
How is this different from LinkedIn or job boards?
On job boards, your resume goes into a pile of hundreds. With ReferReady, a real employee at the company submits your name through their internal referral system. Your application gets flagged as “referred” and goes to a human, not a filter.
Why does it cost €19/month?
We match you to employees who can actually refer you at your target companies. One successful referral is worth more than years of subscription. Cancel anytime, no contracts.
What if I don’t get referred?
How fast you match depends on referrer availability at your target companies. We’re in early access and growing the referrer side every week. Declined requests don’t count against your weekly limit, and you can cancel anytime with no questions asked.
Is my data shared with companies?
Your profile is visible to referrers on the platform, but no data is shared with companies directly. Referrers review your profile and decide whether to refer you through their company’s internal process.
