Show HN: Collect Referrals with a Link
hedgy.works
Hey HN,
At Hedgy, we're helping our talented tech friends figure out their next gigs and helping companies hire with referrals. We recently worked on a little tool to help hiring managers collect referrals with a link and review/group them.
We’ve been going deep with pilot customers, learning about referral motions and hiring strategies in the current market. I wanted to share what we’ve learned and a free tool we built.
Hiring managers are getting crushed by cold applications. A combination of market conditions and gen AI tools are causing low-quality candidates to apply to 1000 companies at once. Some managers are skipping the inbound applications altogether and only looking at referral candidates.
You’ve probably written investor emails, slacked employees, and made LinkedIn posts asking for referrals for an open role. Hedgy referral links are easy to share and capture referral info in a structured way. You can then triage and manage outreach to these referrals in our dashboard or export them for another tool.
We just launched a beta and are looking for founders and hiring managers to give it a try. Signup now to get it free forever.
