ReferLink

👋 Hey PH fam! If you’ve applied for a job recently, you probably had to send a message that went something like this: “So sorry to bother you, I’m just following up to see if you’ve gotten the chance to refer me to that role at your company as we discussed last week..?” 🫣 This is one of the most painfully awkward things I’ve ever had to do. We all know that referrals are an invaluable tool when job-hunting, but securing and managing them is incredibly uncomfortable and overwhelming. At least it used to be. I’m excited to announce the launch of ReferLink, an app that automates the job referral process so you can focus on landing your dream job. No more cluttered excel spreadsheets and last minute LinkedIn outreach to try to secure referrals — ReferLink streamlines the whole process into three easy steps: 1. Make your ReferLink. This is a page that displays your referral requests ✅ 2. Send it to your network (or post it on LinkedIn) 💌 3. We do the rest (including handling that horrible follow-up!), and you get referred 💪 I built this tool to make my own job hunt easier, and now I’m looking for feedback from YOU! There’s nobody I trust more than the PH community to help me in my pursuit of simplified job referrals. Thanks in advance for your feedback! A few questions to ponder as you start to use https://referlink.xyz — How did you previously find and keep track of job referrals? What was the most awkward part of the process for you? How can you leverage your *extended* network to get referred? Cheers! 🥂 Alex

Hi everyone! Co-creator of ReferLink here. Alex did an awesome intro of our product, I just want to highlight a few other things about ReferLink that excite me: 📄 All your info lives in one place. In the past, sending dozens or even hundreds of emails with resume, contact details, etc was commonplace. Now all your info can be easily viewed and shared from your ReferLink. 👥 Larger referrer pool. Sharing your ReferLink as easy as copy+paste, which means you can distribute it widely and tap into your connections’ connections. 📈 Increased follow-through. A simplified referral process and less awkward back-and-forth with referrers means you will actually get referred. Thanks so much to those who’ve already given feedback, please keep it coming! Bora

I’ve seen firsthand that tech job applications without referrals get completely ignored these days. Seems like ReferLink is going to completely democratize access to jobs in this industry!! Fantastic idea and outstanding execution. Can’t wait to see where you take this 🚀

Interesting concept. I would love to know how much it is being used. I went through the demo, and I got a bit of feedback: with it being a new concept, I found some of the messaging parts in the UI to be a bit confusing, and I was unsure of what some actions were about.

Bright Idea

This is a very unique and innovative product you've built

Congratulations on the launch, best of luck to you today ♥️🦄
