Candidates are back in the driving seat. With your identity protected by The Oath and only being matched with roles that match your profile, you can move at your own pace. With no risk of your job search being discovered and the ability to benchmark yourself within the sector – why would anyone not have a profile?
The concept of Candid Hospitality was born several years ago, when our team was helping friends from within the sector find a dream role without revealing they were looking for a move. Which is why you’ll find throughout the platform that the candidate experience always comes first. Here’s a few of the highlights we think you’ll enjoy
Our unique psychometric test has been designed for those working in hospitality. This can be completed in 5 – 10 minutes, and maps your personality out onto a radar graph as you can see here. Companies are doing the same, and inviting all of their employees to anonymously contribute. Meaning we can match you with the cultures tailor made for your personality.
No more subconscious bias. Candid ditches the CV and focuses on skills. Hiding a candidate’s identity, and finding the absolute best person for the job regardless of their gender, ethnicity, name, age, sexuality or appearance (and the list continues). It’s the future of fair and unbiased hiring, and it’s at the heart of everything we do. Did you know that during our research we discovered:

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?
