Know a company that's struggling to hire? You could earn $500, 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 $500 for every friend you refer who successfully hires through Somewhere.com

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

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 unique link and a business completes their first hire, we’ll send you $500 cash. 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:  To join, visit the Join the Somewhere Referral Program Page, Click  "Refer a Client," then click “Join Now," complete the form, including your email address and submit, to generate your unique link.  

1. Share Your Unique Referral Link:  Every participant receives a personalized referral link. Anyone who signs up through that link is automatically tracked and credited to your account.

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 their invoice is paid, you receive your $500 reward.

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 that signs up through your link who 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 a tangible discount 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 $500 reward is sent within 24-48 hours of your referral's first hire being completed and the invoice being paid.

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 ensure your referral is eligible for the $500 reward, of if you made a direct introduction to someone on our team, a few conditions need to be met:

  • They signed up through your unique referral link.
  • The commission applies to their first hire only. 
  • They are not already in Somewhere's system or credited to another referral source.

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.
