Hiring via Jobref links is risk-free: you only pay if the candidate stays. Here’s how it works.
What is the probation period?
On Jobref, a probation period is the test time your newly hired, referred candidate must successfully complete before any referral fee becomes payable. Think of it as Jobref’s quality guarantee: if either side ends the employment during this window, your company owes nothing.
Typical length and how it’s set
The duration is chosen automatically when you select the referral fee for a job post. Higher fees unlock a longer safety window:
Minimum: 30 days (lowest fee tier)
Maximum: 90 days (highest tier)
Connection to referral fee payouts
Invoices are issued only after the full probation period elapses and the candidate remains employed. Early resignations or terminations void the fee—no partial charges, no hidden costs.
Referral-only guarantee
Probation protection applies exclusively to candidates who arrive through a tracked referral link (public or direct). Applicants who apply on their own, without any referrer, are not covered—standard hiring terms apply and a referral fee is never generated.
