- You find people on platforms you pay for yourself (indeed, dice, recruiter), and if you have recruiting experience you generally know a qualified candidate when you speak to them. You submit them, but that’s it. After that you have no communication with the candidate because Relode is contracted out as a 3rd party from other recruiting companies to find candidates. So you find them add them to system and they take them and send them along.
- It’s not real recruiting it’s just sourcing. You submit a candidate, and if the “client” accepts them then you get the listed referral bonus.
- You cannot look in the database at the pool of candidates. You can only see yours or candidates that have been robotically added to a position as being “qualifying.” You can submit them if they fit the skills needs, and potentially get a reward.
- The rewards listed range from $0-$400+. So you think wow that’s a nice chunk of money for sourcing a candidate. Then you see that you are eligible to make $5000 if this person gets hired. They never get hired. They’ve just taken your candidate. They rarely approve them and typically reject them for a strange reason such as “not eligible”
- There are over 900 recruiters for them because it’s a scam and there isn’t any money to be made
- Occasionally they will approve a submittal and you’ll get the reward, but that is about 1 out of every 10 you send over. So don’t try to source for the highest paid reward you can find because they won’t accept that submittal. They will reject the candidates without any realistic reasoning
- You are kind of a slave who finds resources to make the company’s pockets bigger
- There is always a large turnover rate in the corporate staff. There were 3 separate waves of them while I was recruiting because one person who email me and then all of a sudden a new name would email me, and then after sometime another one and none of them ever seem to be on the positions more than once or in contact.
- Don’t was te your time or money on this, and definitely don’t invest in sourcing platforms because it’ll cost more than you’ll make back.
