\ At Social Discovery Group, we believe the best candidates come from trusted connections. That’s why we created the SDG External Referral Program: recommend outstanding professionals, earn rewards when they join our team. Open to anyone outside SDG : former colleagues, community members, or anyone with a great network.
What is the SDG External Referral Program?
We just updated the SDG External Referral Program on our corporate site, with the biggest change being transparency: you now get automatic status updates at every stage of your candidate’s journey, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening.
The program allows people outside of Social Discovery Group to recommend candidates for open or future roles across every function and seniority level - IT or non-IT. That means developers, designers, marketers, HR professionals, finance specialists, and more.
If your referral gets hired and completes their integration period, you earn a bonus of up to $5,000. And there’s no limit: refer as many as you like, and get rewarded for every successful hire.
The program in numbers: 2025 results
The impact of the referral program is real and growing. In 2025, the results speak clearly:
Nearly one in five SDG hires joined because someone took a moment to make an introduction. That’s the power of a community that believes in its people.

Who can you refer?
Almost anyone! 👩💻 You can refer candidates for any current opening at SDG or submit a profile for future consideration.
To be eligible, candidates must:
- Not have applied to SDG or been in contact with our recruitment team within the last 6 months
- Not already be referred by another person
- Not be a self-referral (if you’re looking for opportunities yourself, check out our open positions directly)
That’s it. There are no limits on the number of referrals you can submit, and bonuses are awarded for each successful hire, so the more great people you know, the more you can earn.
How it works: 3 simple steps
1. Submit a referral
Complete a short form with your and your candidate’s details, upload their CV, add their LinkedIn profile, and select whether it’s for a specific vacancy or future consideration. Choose your connection to them and submit.
\ Once submitted, you’ll instantly receive a unique tracking code — in a pop-up and via email — to check your referral’s status anytime.
2. We review the candidate
Our recruitment team takes over, evaluating the candidate and managing the entire hiring process. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, and if the candidate is already in our system, we’ll let you know.
3. You earn your bonus
When your candidate accepts a permanent position and completes their integration period (typically 3–6 months), we’ll pay your referral bonus. Payment timelines are shared upfront — no surprises.
How much can you earn?
Earn up to $5,000 per successful referral, with the amount depending on the role. There’s no limit on how many candidates you can refer, so you’re rewarded for both quality and quantity. For full details ➜ see the Social Discovery Group Referral Program Terms & Conditions.
