You decide who's worth it
Your callYou'll meet plenty of solid candidates and a few standouts. Referring is something you do for the standouts, on your own judgment — never a box you're asked to check.
Engineering, data, ML, product, design, finance, marketing, ops — if you do it for a living at a large company, there's a side-hustle market for your time. Set your own hours, keep your identity as visible or anonymous as you want.
A per-session fee for your time, set by you. And if someone you evaluate is worth referring, a bonus on top — same as it's always been at your company.
If someone impresses you, put them forward. If not, no pressure — every session pays on its own either way.

See someone who'd be great for a role on another team? Refer them anyway — most companies' programs work exactly the same way they always have, whether or not you're the hiring manager.
Refer someone and it works like any other referral at your company — same bonus, same process. We just got you a candidate worth referring in the first place.
Confirm your role with a work email or a reviewed LinkedIn profile. Nothing goes live until verification clears.
List your employer directly, or appear anonymously — e.g. "L6 Staff Engineer at a top-3 cloud provider." Your call.
Connect your calendar or set recurring weekly slots. Job seekers only ever see times you've opened up.
Run the session, then submit the rubric if it's a mock exam. Your contact details stay hidden until a session is confirmed.
Categories adapt automatically to the function and session type — a product case looks different from a coding round. Four scored categories, plus two calls only you can make: badge or not, referral-worthy or not.
