How rewards work

Earn real money for successful referrals. Here's everything you need to know about rewards.

Reward basics

When someone you refer (or you yourself) gets hired through Know Someone, you earn a cash reward. The amount varies by job and is shown on each listing.

Reward amounts

Typical rewards range from £500 to £5,000+, depending on:

• The seniority of the role
• The industry
• How hard the position is to fill
• The employer's budget

When rewards are paid

Rewards are paid after the new hire completes a qualifying period, typically:

• 90 days for most roles
• This ensures the hire is successful for both parties

Reward timeline

1. Referral hired - Your reward becomes "pending"
2. Qualifying period - Usually 90 days
3. Reward approved - Employer confirms successful hire
4. Payout available - Withdraw to your bank account

Reward visibility

On every job listing, you'll see:

• The exact reward amount
• Any conditions or requirements
• The qualifying period length

Tax considerations

Referral rewards are typically taxable income. We recommend consulting a tax professional for your specific situation.
