Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience to become a waiter or waitress?

Not necessarily. Many employers recruit people with little or no hospitality experience and provide full training. If you’ve worked in customer service before, that can also be a real advantage.

Yes. Hospitality offers a wide range of flexible opportunities, from full-time careers to part-time, evening and weekend shifts that fit around other commitments.

 

Instead of applying for dozens of jobs, you create one anonymous profile outlining your experience and preferences. Employers searching for waiting staff can then contact you directly if you’re a good match.

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:

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.
