Referring a job

Why can't I activate a referral on this job?

Referrals only work on jobs that support them, which carry a Refer & Earn tag. On any other job, activation is refused even though you are signed in.

What a job needs before you can refer it

  • A Refer & Earn tag on the job card or a referral card on the job
  • An earning amount shown on that card
  • The job still open for applications
  • You signed in to GoodSpace
