What qualifies as a referral?

A referral is when a candidate applies for an open role because an existing team member encourages them to do so.

This differs from the traditional application process in that the candidate submits their resume because of the referrer + the referrer's endorsement that they may be a good match for the role. A #referral tag will be added to the candidate in Workable when they have been referred.

What doesn't qualify:

• An already submitted candidate application that did not apply because of the team member
• The referrer has no connections or working knowledge of the candidate to endorse them

Who can participate in Float's referral program?

Everyone at Float is eligible to participate in our referral program, with a few exceptions depending on your involvement in the role (see below).

Who can be referred?

• People who align with our values and culture
• People who meet the qualifications for a job posting or have relevant experience
• People in your professional network
• Family members and partners are good to refer if the role is in a different department than yours.

We're growing, so we still love to meet candidates who are a good match with relevant experience even when there are no open positions - especially in Engineering and Customer Success. If we can find them a matching role, you'll qualify for the referral bonus! You can use your social and external networks as potential resources for referred candidates.

How to refer a candidate

Please refer candidates directly through the referrals portal in Workable.

• Log into Workable Referrals with your Float email
• Under the role your referral is interested in, click Refer where you will have the option to either upload the candidate’s resume (preferred) or find their profile via their LinkedIn URL or email
• You’ll need to input some basic information for your referral, including their resume and context about your relationship with them
