Referd is an enterprise-grade referral marketplace designed to eliminate the dreaded "ATS black hole" for job seekers while streamlining verified candidate discovery for corporate employees. By replacing cold, low-converting applications with a high-trust network, Referd guarantees that every candidate's resume reaches an internal employee willing to vouch for them.
At the heart of Referd is its innovative Multi-Agent ATS Jury System. Instead of relying on rigid keyword filters or single-prompt evaluations, candidate applications are parsed asynchronously by a panel of four specialized AI agents—evaluating technical stack depth, career pedigree, culture fit against personalized referrer criteria, and profile integrity. This multi-agent consensus engine produces an unbiased, explainable match score, ensuring referrers only receive high-intent, top-tier talent tailored to their specific team preferences.
Referd introduces a Zero-Risk 72-Hour SLA Framework powered by an ASBA-style pre-authorization transaction model. Using Cashfree's payment hold infrastructure, a candidate's fee is temporarily frozen in their bank account upon requesting a referral and is only debited when an employee completes the verified internal submission within 72 hours. If the request expires or is declined, the funds are instantly released back to the candidate's account with zero gateway penalties—creating maximum trust and eliminating candidate friction.
For verified employees, Referd offers a frictionless way to monetize their professional networks and earn internal company hiring bonuses. Referrers gain access to personalized Per-Referrer Scoring (PRS) sliders to fine-tune screening criteria and receive gamified platform rewards for swift candidate reviews.
