Looking for Your Next Hospitality Role? There’s Now an Easier Way.

Introducing the dating app for hospitality careers

Let’s be honest. Looking for a new job can feel like a job in itself.

You start with good intentions. You open a few tabs, save a couple of roles, promise yourself you’ll come back to them later and then life gets in the way.

A busy shift. A commute home. Family commitments. Plans with friends.

Before you know it, that opportunity you were interested in has disappeared beneath a sea of browser tabs and unread emails.

That’s exactly why we built the Candid app.

🧡 Your career, on your terms

At Candid, we’ve always believed there should be a better way to discover hospitality opportunities.

That’s why we created anonymous profiles, culture-based matching, and a platform that doesn’t rely on CVs to tell your story.

But we knew there was one thing missing. Flexibility.

Because careers don’t happen when you’re sat at a desk with your laptop open. They happen during your commute. On your lunch break. Between shifts. While you’re figuring out what comes next.

The Candid app puts your career where it belongs – right in your pocket.

Whether you’re actively looking for a new role or simply curious about what’s out there, you can explore opportunities whenever it suits you.

❌ Stop missing opportunities

We’ve all been there.

You see a role that catches your eye, but you’re too busy to apply right now. You match with a brand, but don’t notice the email until days later.

Someone messages you, but the notification gets lost amongst everything else in your inbox.

The app changes that.

With real-time notifications, you’ll know the moment:

  • A brand matches with you
  • Someone replies to your message in The Room
  • A new opportunity lands that’s worth your attention

No refreshing inboxes. No missed connections. No playing catch-up. Just the right information, exactly when you need it.

💤 No CV. No pressure. No endless applications.

Traditional job searching can be exhausting.

Upload your CV. Fill out the same information again. Answer the same questions. Wait weeks for a response.

We built Candid to be different.

With the app, you can browse opportunities quickly, swipe on roles that interest you, and connect directly with brands when there’s a mutual fit.

It’s simple, private, and designed around people – not paperwork.

🙈 Stay anonymous until you’re ready

One of the biggest concerns people have when looking for a new role is being seen.

What if your current employer finds out?

What if you’re just exploring your options?

What if you’re not ready to have that conversation yet?

That’s why anonymity remains at the heart of everything we do. You stay in control of your profile, your information, and when you choose to reveal who you are.

Explore opportunities with confidence, knowing your career decisions remain yours alone.

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?

We love hearing from our community!
