Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common concerns

No. This is a performance-based referral system similar to bug bounties. Real value is created (someone gets hired). There are no "downlines," memberships, or products. It's a single, capped transaction that only pays out on successful hiring. The mathematical structure ensures payouts never exceed your set cap.

Referrers pay a small fee ($10) to submit candidates. This prevents spam—if someone tried to submit 1000 random resumes, it would cost them $10,000. This ensures referrers only submit candidates they genuinely believe are excellent fits. We also track referrer reputation over time.

You pay nothing. Zero. CrowdRelay is 100% outcomes-based. No subscription fees, no setup costs, no retainers. We only make money when you successfully hire someone through our platform.

We excel at hard-to-fill technical positions where quality matters more than quantity: ML engineers (especially RAG and fine-tuning experts), specialized DevOps roles, security experts, Rust developers, and senior engineers in niche stacks. If you're tired of posting on job boards and getting hundreds of unqualified applicants, we're perfect for you.
