Another Joli Good Match

An insight into Rhiannon’s Candid experience

In hospitality, finding the right role shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. But for many candidates, it does.

For Rhiannon Fisher – also known as “Steak with barbecue sauce” – the search for her next role started in a familiar place… and with a familiar frustration.

😬 The reality of job hunting

Like so many professionals in the industry, Rhiannon turned to LinkedIn to explore new opportunities.

“I was applying on LinkedIn however it was very rare that anyone would get back to me”

Rhiannon, Customer Success Manager @ Joli

Applications went out. Time and effort went in. But responses? Few and far between.

“I felt like I got a response from maybe 1 in every 10 job posts.”

It’s a cycle that’s all too common – and one that leaves even the most experienced candidates questioning what they’re doing wrong.

🥳 A better way to get hired

When Rhiannon discovered Candid, the experience couldn’t have been more different.

No endless applications. No constant CV tweaking. No second-guessing. Instead, a platform designed to do the heavy lifting.

“Candid is so helpful and EASY. No faffing around updating parts of your CV to tailer to each job spec you are applying to, the jobs match to you so it works wonders”

Rhiannon, Customer Success Manager @ Joli

For the first time, the process felt like it was working with her – not against her.

🧡 Finally a process that feels good

Beyond the efficiency, there was something else that stood out. The experience itself.

“It was a much more pleasant experience than writing a CV”

Rhiannon, Customer Success Manager @ Joli

And that matters more than it might seem. Because when candidates aren’t bogged down by admin and repetition, they can focus on what actually counts – showing who they are, and what they bring.

⏳ The right role, at the right time


Among the opportunities that came her way, one stood out immediately: Joli.

A remote role. A close-knit team. A company that genuinely cares about what they do. For Rhiannon, it was a natural fit.

After years spent building relationships and developing her skills at Wireless Social, she knew exactly where she could add value – and how she could make an impact.

🤝 What comes next?

Now stepping into her new role, Rhiannon is excited to get started.

“Definitely getting stuck in and learning how I can help maximise each client’s campaigns to get the content from creators they need.”

It’s a role that builds on her strengths – while giving her the opportunity to grow with a product she believes in.

🧡 Why this matters

Rhiannon’s story highlights a bigger truth about hiring in hospitality: The problem isn’t always the candidate. Sometimes, it’s the process.

When applications feel one-sided, time-consuming, and impersonal, great people get lost in the noise. But when you remove friction, simplify the journey, and focus on real alignment – everything changes.

Because the right match shouldn’t take dozens of applications. Sometimes, it just takes one.

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
