Candidate

The way candidates and hiring managers find each other hasn't changed in a while. On one hand, you have a mountain of anonymous candidates that managers have to sort through. On the other hand, you have recruiting firms that charge an enormous fee and work from a limited Rolodex. There's not much in between, and for hiring managers and candidates alike, the process often feels overwhelming and frustrating. Worse still, you can end up with a less-than-diverse pool of candidates. Candidate.co has reinvented the process. We've created a unique platform that unlocks the power of personal referral networks to connect companies that are ready to scale with the best talent available. We do this by creating a diverse network of connectors that are incentivized and armed with the right information to refer the best person for the opportunity. We offer a significant cash incentive so they take the time to understand the role, the ideal candidate, and connect the right person. Hiring managers get qualified, diverse leads quickly, and for far less than they would pay a recruiting firm. And candidates have a better chance to find the perfect role to meet their potential. At Candidate, we believe there's magic in the perfect match. It's what motivates us every day and it's going to change the way humans and companies connect forever.
