How to Earn Passive Income with the Somewhere Referral Program
Zero Risk: You pay nothing if you don't hire.

Know a company that's struggling to hire? Refer them in November and you could earn $1,000, no selling, no hassle.

If you've ever recommended a great service to a friend and thought, "I should get something for that," now you do. Somewhere's referral program pays you $1,000 for every business you refer between 1 and 30 November 2026 that successfully hires through Somewhere.com. 

Here's everything you need to know to get started.

The November $1,000 Referral Reward

From 1 to 30 November 2026, our referral reward goes up from $500 to $1,000. The referral has to be made in November, but the hire doesn't: the candidate just needs to accept an offer by 31 March 2027. Referrals made before 1 November or after 30 November earn our standard $500 reward. If you've referred with us before, you can take part too.

What Is the Somewhere Referral Program?

Somewhere is a global remote recruitment agency who connects companies with top global talent. Our referral program is designed for anyone , clients, partners, or advocates, who want to earn passive income simply by spreading the word.

We believe great partners deserve great rewards. When you share your personal link and a business completes their first hire, we’ll send you $1,000 cash for referrals made in November. There are no sales targets to hit or pitches to memorize. Plus, if you're already an existing client working with us, feel free to simply introduce your referral to your Account Manager over email.

How To Join?

The process is refreshingly simple: there's nothing to sign up for. We email you a personal referral link. If you can't find it, visit the Somewhere Referral Program page and we'll send it to you.  

1. Share Your Personal Referral Link:  Every participant receives a personalized referral link. Any business that books through that link is automatically tracked and credited to you.

2. They Hire Through Somewhere:  Somewhere takes it from there; sourcing, vetting, and placing top remote talent on behalf of your referral. You don't need to stay involved in the process at all.

3. You Get Paid:  Once your referral's first hire is completed and the invoices are settled, you receive your reward: $1,000 for referrals made in November.

What's In It for the Companies You Refer?

This is what makes it an easy conversation to have: your referrals win too.

Every business you refer that successfully makes a hire receives $500 off their first hire with Somewhere. That means you're not just asking someone to try a new service, you're handing them $500 off before they've spent a single dollar.

A mutual benefit makes referrals far easier to share and far more likely to convert.

When and How Do You Get Paid?

Your reward is paid within 30 days of all invoices for your referral's first hire being settled.

Payment is delivered through Tremendous, a flexible rewards platform. You'll receive an email prompting you to redeem your reward, no account setup, no bank forms, no waiting. Fast and flexible by design.

Track Every Referral in Real Time

Somewhere's referral dashboard gives you full visibility into your pipeline, no guesswork, no chasing for updates.

To access your dashboard:

  1. Enter the email address registered to your referral account.
  2. Enter the verification code sent to your inbox.
  3. View your complete referral list with live status updates.

You can filter your dashboard by:

  • Deal Status:  Sales, Recruitment, Completed, Cancelled, Lost, or On Hold.
  • Created Date:  Filter by any custom date range.
  • Referral Paid:  Yes, No, or Not Applicable.

What Counts as a Qualified Referral?

To be eligible for the $1,000 reward, whether you shared your link or made a direct introduction to anyone on our team by email, a few conditions need to be met:

  • You referred them between 1 and 30 November 2026, and the candidate accepts an offer by 31 March 2027.
  • They came through your personal referral link or your direct introduction.
  • The reward applies to their first hire only. Direct Hire and Talent on Demand both count.
  • They are not already in Somewhere's system or credited to another referral source. One reward per business.

What Does NOT Count as a Referral?

To avoid any confusion, here's what falls outside the program:

  • Job seekers or candidates applying for roles (the program is for companies hiring, not individuals job hunting).
  • Companies who are already in conversation with Somewhere before your referral.
  • Referrals who didn't come through your link or weren't introduced by you.
  • Future hires by the same company after their first placement.

Who Should Join the Somewhere.com Referral Program?

If any of the following sounds like you, this program is a natural fit:

  • HR consultants or recruiters whose clients regularly need to hire.
  • Business coaches or advisors working with growing companies.
  • Entrepreneurs and operators with a network of fellow business owners.
  • Freelancers or contractors embedded inside companies that are scaling.
  • Anyone who knows at least one company that's actively hiring remote talent.

You don't need a large audience or a formal partnership agreement. You just need one good introduction.
