A thank you drink or 3,600?

Have you ever recommended a colleague or acquaintance for a new job? 62% of Britons have either referred somebody or been referred for a job, or have done both, and until now 89% of us have not been financially rewarded for this . Now, a new online platform called Zubka (www.zubka.com) has launched with a unique reward scheme that enables individuals to be remunerated for successfully matching people with job opportunities. Instead of a thank-you drink or phone-call, we can now look forward to a generous financial reward every time we successfully match a person with a job. Based on a sliding monetary salary scale developed by Zubka, Britons could earn thousands of pounds every time they recommend a friend or colleague with a new position, simply by registering with the site and sharing contacts and information.

There are people who are looking for a new job and those who are desperate to find good staff. Zubka brings these parties together and enables the referrer to be rewarded for the successful introduction. The reward you receive for effectively placing someone depends on their earnings band but is normally between 6% and 8% of their starting salary. Refer someone into a job with a basic salary of 55,000 and youíll earn a reward of 3,600.
The Zubka premise is:

The Referrer gets a fair reward for doing what most of us do anyway.
The Hirer gets a great new employee, personally recommended, at a fair and cheaper price.
The Prospect gets a great new job, even though they may not actively have been looking for one.

Zubka.com is the first service to tap into the self-styled ëReferral Economyí ñ the national figure based on the number of successful employment referrals within the workforce.

Research conducted on behalf of Zubka has found that the value per year of the referral market, based on the number of successful referrals per year in the UK is a staggering 7.6 billion . This enormous untapped resource will now be unlocked for Britons to benefit from via the Zubka platform.

ìEveryone is a winner with Zubkaî, says recruitment specialist and Zubka co-founder David Shieldhouse. ìWhether it is a financial bonus for referring someone, an exciting new job for an individual, or great new members of staff in less time and with fewer costs for businesses, this service enables everyone involved in the employment chain a chance to benefit, simply by sharing information and contacts.î

Fellow co-founder of Zubka, Armando Ruffini, adds, ìIt is amazing to think that 89% of Britons have never been rewarded for recommending somebody for a job, and yet we do so very often. Zubka allows everyone to benefit from something as simple as making a recommendation. People have been sharing information and contacts via the web since its inception and Zubka is tapping into this communal spirit of the internet, allowing people to reap the rewards from something as simple as giving a referral.î

Once youíre a Zubka referrer simply introduce Zubka to others and if they too become referrers, for each and every placement they ever make, Zubka will give you 5% of the placement fee. Introduce 40 people, each of whom make just one successful referral for a 50k job and youíll earn 9000 for only 20 minutes work!
Hirers can advertise jobs for referrers to browse through for as little as 10 for a four week posting. Joining Zubka as a referrer or a hirer is completely free and will allow you to be a part of the referral revolution.
