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 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?

@roshan_fernando Thanks Roshan! Definitely will be thinking about discoverability as there are more bounties on the platform. Letting someone opt into notifications about a specific industry is a great idea, I could see us sending subscribers a form to set those notification preferences. We'll also probably have filters on the site where all the active bounties are listed!

Great product Tina. How do you prevent people seeing a referral link to bypass and not stay in the chain to claim the bounty and not the bonus. Suppose I see a referral link from User A, instead of sharing user A, I only go to directly suggest my candidate. Does it make sense ?

Wish you success with the realization of this work. But have you ever thought of working as remote qa testing jobs in the same domain with better perspectives for the future? Also, you will have a job from home that may save you more time. Being a great specialist in this area will increase your profit. Your product will help many people find a job that suits them, but I think doing this job from home will stimulate them to take more than one job as part-time work and earn additional money. I think I will also use your Bounty to search for a remote expert in my company. _______________________________ https://zizu.io/remote-jobs/qa-en/

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

@adityavsc Thanks Aditya! We think there's a lot of opportunity for companies to experiment with paid referrals, especially early-stage startups hiring for key roles. It's always important to hire the right people, but even moreso for a small team!

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

@aleksandra_vovchenko Thanks Alexa! Definitely agree that aggregating everything and formalizing the process has a lot of benefits over a more off the cuff process.

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!
