Questions

Will I get flooded?+

No. You choose how many applications you can review each week (5, 10 or 20). When your queue is full, new applications pause, and there's a ready-made reply for that too.

Is my email shown?+

No. Candidates see your first name, last initial, team and company. Your email is never shown.

Do I have to use the link?+

No. You're also listed on Doorstep so candidates can find you, and you can pause applications any time in your settings.

Is it allowed by my employer?+

Most companies welcome referrals, but rules differ. Check your company's referral policy before you join; we ask you to confirm you have.
