Skip the ATS black hole.
Bid for a direct referral.
Pay a real employee at your dream company to refer you. We hold your money safely with Razorpay — they only get paid after they actually refer you and show proof. No proof in 7 days? You get every rupee back, automatically.
A risk-free system built on absolute trust.
Most “pay for a referral” sites are a leap of faith. We removed the leap. Here’s the full flow.
Place a bid, safely
Your money is held safely with Razorpay. The referrer can see you’ve bid, but they can’t touch the money yet.
See your match score
Our AI scores how well you fit the role. You and the referrer see the exact same score — no hidden math.
Get referred with proof
The referrer has 7 days to refer you through their company’s system and upload a screenshot or proof.
Paid or refunded
Proof checks out → referrer gets paid. No proof, declined, or 7 days up? You get every rupee back, automatically.
So what’s the actual promise?
We don’t promise you’ll get hired — no referral service can do that honestly. What we do promise: if the referrer doesn’t actually refer you (and show proof) within 7 days, you get every rupee back.
That’s the only thing we charge for: a real referral with proof. The interview and the offer depend on you and the company. We just open the door.
Built for the person asking and the one vouching.
A marketplace only works when both sides feel safe. Here’s what each side gets.
Stop cold-DMing strangers on LinkedIn.
Your resume vanishes into the ATS black hole. Refrd is a direct line to someone whose internal referral actually gets read — and you only pay if it actually happens.
- ✓Real employees only. Every referrer signs in with LinkedIn, so you see a real identity and verified employer — never an anonymous account.
- ✓See your fit score before bidding. If you’re not a strong match, you’ll know. So will they.
- ✓Refund without arguing. No referral in 7 days? Money comes back on its own.
Get paid for what you already do for free.
You already get LinkedIn messages asking for referrals. Refrd lets you post the openings you know about, choose the candidates worth your time, and earn for every one you actually refer.
- ✓You decide who gets your referral. See match scores upfront. Accept only the bids that meet your bar.
- ✓Paid after you refer. Submit via your company’s system, upload the proof, get paid.
- ✓Your company’s rules matter. Check your employer allows paid referrals before you list. We require you to confirm.
Same score. Both sides. No mystery math.
A common trick on paid-referral sites: the referrer takes your money, then quietly drops you saying you weren’t a “fit.” We don’t allow that. The match score is calculated once, shown to both of you, and locked in before any bid is accepted.
The awkward questions, answered straight.
If you’re skeptical, good. Read these before you bid.
