Candid Hospitality is a community built on trust and mutual respect.
The Candid Oath exists to protect all members, creating a safe space where both candidates and companies can communicate openly and honestly, without fear of exposure.
While the platform encourages quick, informal discussions, it is underpinned by a serious commitment to confidentiality. Many candidates here value discretion as they quietly explore their dream roles, and companies share sensitive insights about their business operations. To ensure this trust is upheld, all users must agree to The Candid Oath.
It’s simple:
Think of it as the Chatham House Rule for hospitality careers.
Enforcement
Anyone found violating The Oath will face immediate and indefinite suspension, whether they are a candidate or a company. We, as the platform creators, also hold ourselves to The Oath and pledge never to disclose details of any parties using Candid. Your trust is our priority, and your secrets are safe with us.

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?
