Faster, Fairer Hiring: Candid × Recruit Genie

Integration now live!

We’re excited to announce a powerful new integration designed to simplify and supercharge hospitality hiring.

Candid is now fully integrated with Recruit Genie -a smart, intuitive ATS helping hospitality teams streamline recruitment and hire with confidence.

Together, we’re making it easier than ever for employers to attract the right people, reduce hiring admin, and move faster -without compromising on quality or candidate experience.

🎉 Why we’re excited about this partnership

Hiring in hospitality isn’t getting any easier.

Teams are under pressure to fill roles quickly, stand out to top talent, and make the right hiring decisions -all while juggling limited time and resources.

Recruit Genie brings simplicity, automation, and control to hiring workflows. Candid brings a bias-free, skills-led approach and access to one of the UK’s largest pools of passive hospitality talent.

This integration brings both together -seamlessly.

This partnership is about more than technology; it’s about creating better hiring outcomes. By combining Candid’s people-first approach with Recruit Genie’s innovative platform, we’re helping organisations recruit with greater efficiency, insight, and confidence while delivering an exceptional candidate experience.”

Richard Tomlinson, Commercial Director @ Recruit Genie

Now, with Candid integrated directly into Recruit Genie, users can go beyond active applicants and tap into a highly engaged, values-led talent pool -without adding friction to their existing workflow.

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!
