For employers

Employers FAQ

  • Posting a role is free. On placement, you pay a flat 10% of first-year salary, with half going to the referrer who introduced the candidate. No retainers, no monthly fees.

  • Roles are typically reviewed and activated within one business day. The average time to first qualified referral is three days.

  • You pay nothing. LnqHub is pay-on-placement only — if no referral converts to a hire, there is no fee.

  • No — multiple referrers can submit candidates for the same role. Duplicate candidate detection prevents two referrers from claiming the same person.

  • Every referrer is identity-verified through a third-party provider before they can submit. We do not verify candidates' employment history — that is your responsibility during interviews.

  • Yes. Each referrer has a public profile visible to Clients showing referrals submitted, placements made, and success rate.

For referrers

Referrers FAQ

  • Payouts vary by role and are based on the position's salary. Referrers earn 5% of first-year salary, resulting in an average payout of around $8,400 per successful placement.

  • Bonus pays out via Stripe Connect once your referral meets employment conditions (30 days from start date). You'll see pending and paid bonuses in your dashboard.

  • Sign up through the Referral portal. We require a brief approval review before you can submit candidates.

  • Yes — your identity is masked from the employer until you choose to introduce yourself. Your reputation score grows with every successful placement.

  • If your total annual payouts exceed $600, we securely collect your W-9 through Stripe and issue a 1099-NEC. Stripe also manages payout processing and recordkeeping.

  • You can submit candidates for any active role you have access to. Self-referrals are blocked, and duplicate submissions are flagged automatically.

  • While self-referrals aren't permitted, opportunities are meant to be shared. Reach out to someone in your network and have them submit a referral for you. It's a simple way to help someone earn a reward while helping you land your next opportunity. No one in your network to refer you? Email us and we'll help make the connection.

For candidates

Candidates FAQ

  • No. Candidates never pay a fee. The platform is funded by employer placement fees.

  • Your skills, experience, and the referrer's endorsement are shared. Your contact details remain masked until you accept an offer.

  • Sign in and decline the referral, or simply do not confirm interest. Nothing further is shared with the employer if you decline.

  • You can withdraw at any time from your candidate dashboard. The employer is notified and your status is updated.

For general

General FAQ

  • No — LnqHub is a marketplace. Real people in your network surface candidates through their own connections; the platform handles matching, masking, scheduling, payments, and verification.

  • Stripe (cards and ACH), with Wise and Zelle available on request for invoices.

  • On U.S.-based managed Postgres infrastructure, encrypted at rest. Authentication runs on Firebase, payments on Stripe.

  • While self-referrals aren't permitted, opportunities are meant to be shared. Reach out to someone in your network and have them submit a referral for you. It's a simple way to help someone earn a reward while helping you land your next opportunity. No one in your network to refer you? Email us and we'll help make the connection.
