LET’S GET CANDID
Culture, competencies, compensation – and no CV’s. Careers matched on what matters.
Probably the most important element of any job move and yet near-impossible to understand before you arrive in your new role. Well no longer. Companies and Candidates both complete the Candid psychometric test – built in partnership with Chartered Psychologist Tom Young, before anyone begins matchmaking. Meaning you’ll either be a culture-fit or culture-add in all opportunities you match with.
Individuals unhappy in their roles often feel like they don’t have the required competencies to do their job to a level they’re proud of OR because their current role isn’t stretching them to their potential. Now, using Candid’s AI driven competency mapping tool, Candidates can easily share all of their professional capabilities. Matching only with opportunities that will allow you to flex, and stretch, your skills.
No more ‘competitive salaries’ or awkwardly asking about maternity leave policies. Use our simple pick & mix tool to outline the elements of a package most important to you. Hybrid working, bonuses, basic salary & personal development – no more wasted time investing in roles that were never going to make the cut.
Traditionally, when advertising a new vacancy all of your applicants are ‘active’ candidates. Individuals who are actively looking for a new role. Did you know that at any given point, 70% of all candidates are ‘passive’.
A passive candidate is a skilled professional who is currently employed and not actively seeking a new job. They are more likely to be high-performing, which explains why they are content in their current role. However, they may be open to exploring new opportunities if the right one presents itself. A strong culture fit, a role that complements and challenges their competencies and an exciting compensation package perhaps…
Over 40% of all candidates registered with Candid have opened ‘passive’ accounts. Passive candidates aren’t running from anything, but they’re keeping one eye open for that opportunity worth running towards.
Candid is your magnet, when looking for a needle in the haystack. Enabling bias-free matchmaking, based on candidates skills and values, all whilst uncovering hidden talent pools. Quality over quantity means lower time to hire, and higher employee retention.
Whether it’s for Christmas, Weddings or Travel Destinations, there’s something quite indulgent about compiling your wish list. Well your Candid Wish list is no different – we’re here to help you manifest that move.
IT’S MADE FOR YOU
A private room for candidate and hiring manager, including asynchronous WhatsApp style chat.
A centralised information hub for easy access to job descriptions, company values, benefits, maternity leave policies, testimonials and more.
Interactive pre-interview tools to enable video introductions to be uploaded, tasks to be set and relevant skills to be showcased.
Companies can shine a spotlight on their unique culture & values through personalising their room. Sizzle reels, messages from the CEO or just a warm hello from the hiring manager.

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
