The problem

Job hunting is a second full-time job — and you're doing it for free.

You scan job boards. You polish your LinkedIn. You chase recruiters. You tailor each application. Meanwhile, the companies you'd actually want to work for are paying $3,000 to $20,000 in referral fees to whoever hands them the right candidate. You — the candidate — see none of it.

The old way

You do the work. Someone else gets paid.

  • Spend 5+ hours/week scanning job boards & LinkedIn
  • Tailor a resume for every application, then never hear back
  • Get cold-pitched by recruiters who haven't read your profile
  • An internal employee earns the referral fee. You get… the job.
The BYOR way

We do the work. You get paid.

  • Upload your resume once. We do the searching, vetting, and submitting.
  • We only submit you to roles you'd actually take. You see every match.
  • You go straight to the hiring manager — not the applicant pile.
  • When you start, you get 50% of the referral fee — cash, on day one.

1
2 minutes

Tell us what you want

Upload your resume, set your salary floor and location preferences, and tell us what you don't want to hear about. Done.

2
We do the work

We submit you to fits

We match your profile against fee-bearing roles, vet the fit, and submit you directly to the hiring manager — skipping the queue.

3
Get paid

You start, you collect

When you sign and start, you get 50% of the referral fee paid to your account — usually within 30 days of your start date.

You stay in control

Every submission is logged. Pause or stop anytime.

Confidential by default

Currently employed? We never out you. Your resume goes nowhere without your sign-off on the company.

No spam, ever

One email when something real shows up. That's it.

Free for candidates

You never pay us. Companies pay the referral fee — we split it with you.

The math

Real fees on real roles.

Every role on BYOR carries a referral fee paid by the hiring company. We split it 50/50 with the candidate. Here's what that looks like in practice.

I'd been half-looking for six months. Submitted to BYOR on a Tuesday, got two real offers in three weeks, and the payout covered a month of mortgage on my new place.

Best part wasn't even the money. It was not having to write another cover letter. They handled outreach, prep, comp negotiation — I just showed up to interviews and said yes.

I was a passive candidate. Wasn't even applying anywhere. BYOR pinged me about one specific role that fit. Six weeks later I was running marketing for them — with a $7,500 bonus on top of base.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Don't see what you need? Email us.

Is this really free for me?+

Yes — completely. We get paid by the hiring company when they hire someone we submitted. We split that referral fee 50/50 with you. You never pay us.

What if I'm currently employed?+

We treat every profile as confidential by default. Your resume is never shared with a hiring company without your explicit sign-off, role by role. Your current employer will never find out from us.

How do I actually get the money?+

When you accept an offer through BYOR, the hiring company pays us a referral fee after your start date (typically once you clear a 30-day mark). We send your 50% via direct deposit or wire within 7 days of receiving it.

What kind of roles do you have?+

Senior+ roles in engineering, product, design, AI/ML, and GTM at US companies — mostly Series A through D startups. Referral fees typically run $3,000–$15,000 depending on seniority and role.

Will you submit me to roles without asking?+

Only within the criteria you set. You can choose 'auto-submit anything that fits my filters' or 'ask me first every time' — and switch at any moment. Every submission is logged in your dashboard.

What if I get hired but it doesn't work out?+

Your share is yours to keep. We pay out after you've cleared the company's typical 30-day mark, so by then it's earned.

How does referring a friend work?+

Every account gets a unique referral link. Share it with a friend; if they sign up through your link and we successfully place them, you earn a slice of the referral fee — paid the same time we pay them.
