Built by a recruiter, for recruiters.
We build software that turns the trust already inside your agency into your most reliable source of hires.
The Light Bulb Moment
RefeRec was founded by Dave Cahill. After years working in the trenches of healthcare and finance tech recruitment, Dave noticed a glaring paradox that existed in almost every agency he encountered.
Every recruiter, from junior resourcers to agency directors, knew that referred candidates were the best candidates. They closed faster, stayed longer, and were easier to work with. Yet, despite this universal truth, nobody had a proper system for generating them.
Referrals were treated as happy accidents. A consultant might remember to ask on a Friday afternoon call, scrawl a name on a post-it note, or send a WhatsApp message that eventually disappeared into the ether. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential revenue were sitting dormant inside the agency's own ATS because consultants were too busy executing the immediate deal to manage a referral network.
RefeRec was built to fix this. To create an automated engine that lives inside Bullhorn and JobAdder, executing the perfect referral strategy while consultants carry on with their day.

How We Operate
Human first
Automation should enhance relationships, not replace them. If it sounds like a robot wrote it, we don't send it.
Commercially direct
Recruiters see through fluff. We talk in terms of placements, time-to-hire, and real revenue.
Quality over volume
We are not a resume spam tool. We generate highly targeted, warm introductions.
Radically honest
If your agency operates in a market where RefeRec won't work, we will tell you not to buy it.
