What are Recruiter Referrals, and where do I see those candidates?
Candidates the RJ Recruiter introduced, grouped by role rather than listed as applications.
Last updated July 31, 2026Some candidates reach you without having applied. The RJ Recruiter introduced them to a specific role of yours, and they agreed to that introduction. Because a referral can be made before anyone has applied to a role, a job can show referrals while its candidate count is still zero — that is not a data error, it is the two things counting different events.
You will find them grouped by job rather than sitting in your applications list. Open a role and its referred candidates are together, each with a short note on why they were matched to it.
Every candidate shown here has already agreed to be introduced to you, so a name in this list is someone who said yes to your role specifically. The label beside each is our shorthand for how close the fit is — treat it as a suggested reading order rather than a score, and read the reason underneath it.
