The dating app for hospitality careers, where you stay anonymous.

No CVs. No bias.
Just belonging.

100+ hospitality brands have already gone candid.

Careers matched on chemistry, not just credentials.

Explore undercover: Scroll through opportunities safely without your current boss or manager finding out.

Culture-fit first: You aren’t a checklist to us. We match you with roles that share your vibe, and where you’ll truly be seen.

No bullshit: Bias stops brilliant people from getting in the room, so we removed the barriers that do so, and in turn, you get hired on merit alone.

We’re playing matchmaker with hospitality careers, and it’s your turn to swipe.

In hospitality, names, accents, ages, postcodes and photos still shape who gets a chance – often before a conversation even starts. Candid exists to change that. We strip away the noise so people can be discovered for what actually matters – their skills, values and potential.

Browse anonymously. Swipe in secret. Match when it clicks.

...and only reveal when you’re ready.

In real life you might be known as Spicy Sean, but on Candid, you’re Spicy Sesame Bun – and 100% anonymous.

When pressure disappears, better matches happen.

When people aren’t performing for a system, they show up more honestly. That leads to better conversations, stronger matches and decisions based on substance – not assumptions. It’s a different way of hiring, and it changes how people feel about looking for work.

We believe the right opportunity comes from being seen for who you truly are and finding where you belong.

So we built the ‘Candid Snapshot’, a culture quiz which tells us who you really are, not the version a CV or system thinks you should be.

No CVs. No bias. No bullshit. Just belonging.

Refer-a-Legend Scheme: Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 09.07.2025
Last Updated: 09.07.2025

Welcome to Candid’s Refer-a-Legend scheme – our way of rewarding you for growing a community of incredible hospitality talent.

These Terms & Conditions outline how the referral rewards work, what you need to do to qualify and the fine print we need to cover to keep things fair for everyone involved.

1. Who Can Take Part
The Refer-a-Legend scheme is open to all Candid users who:

Have signed up as a candidate.

Are based in the UK.

Have a unique referral link generated by the Candid platform.

2. How It Works
You complete your Candid profile.

Receive your unique referral link via email and/or in your dashboard.

You share your link with your network via WhatsApp, socials, email, text… wherever you like.

When someone signs up using your link and completes their candidate profile, it counts as a referral.

You’ll receive updates as your referrals come through, and rewards will be unlocked as you hit key milestones.

Note: Referral links must be shared organically. Paid promotion, bulk messaging or use of bots/automated scripts is not permitted.

3. Reward Milestones
You’ll earn rewards based on the number of successful candidate sign-ups using your unique link:

3 Sign-ups

Community Builder badge on your candidate profile, visible to employers

5 Sign-ups

Exclusive Candid merch drop delivered to your door (UK only)

10+ Sign-ups

Upgrade to Candid Champion badge + invite to join our private community group

Referral leads to interview

Receive a £25 voucher each as a thank-you from the Candid team

4. The Small Print (But Important!)

Referrals must be genuine new users who haven’t previously registered on Candid (duplicate or spam accounts won’t be counted).

Referral links must be shared organically (e.g. through personal messages or social posts). Paid promotion, bulk messaging, or automated scripts are not allowed.

We reserve the right to monitor, verify or disqualify any referral if fraudulent or suspicious activity is detected.

Physical rewards (e.g. merch) can only be shipped within the UK.
Rewards are non-transferable, have no cash value, and cannot be exchanged or resold.

The £25 voucher will be issued digitally via email. Voucher options are selected at Candid’s discretion.

A referral voucher is considered when the referred candidate is progressed by an employer via the Candid platform.

Referral milestones and reward structures may be reviewed or updated at any time. If changes occur, we’ll communicate them in advance.

Candid reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Refer-a-Legend scheme at any time. If we do, we’ll give reasonable notice via email or platform update.

We process referral data in line with our Privacy Policy. No personal information about your referrals will be shared without their consent.

5. When Will I Receive My Rewards?
Badges are added to your profile automatically once a milestone is hit.

Merch and voucher rewards will be processed within 14 days of reaching your milestone.

You’ll receive an email confirmation with next steps when a reward is unlocked.

6. Data & Privacy
We process your referral data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Rest assured:

Your referrals’ data remains private

No personal information will be shared without consent

We remain GDPR-compliant and committed to protecting your data

7. Need Help or Have a Question?
