What Open Referral is

Open Referral automates employee referral programs for companies, handling eligibility checks, bonus calculations, candidate tracking, and follow-ups. Employees can browse open jobs and submit referrals in a browser, including on mobile without installing an app. The service tracks referred candidates in an ATS and calculates bonuses when hires are made. It states support for 64 ATS integrations; if a company's ATS is unsupported, CSV import is an interim option. Payroll integration is not yet direct, but the service can produce structured exports compatible with Silae, ADP, Sage, and PayFit. Its optional Copilot connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, or another MCP-compatible assistant through a URL and user-authorized key. The connector is read-only and limits candidate identity details shared with the assistant. Its plans include employee referral tools, and the Scale plan adds SSO, advanced permissions, multiple workspaces, and onboarding and training.

Good

  • Supports 64 ATS integrations
  • Employees can refer candidates in a mobile browser
  • Automates bonus calculations and candidate tracking
  • Read-only AI connector limits identity details
  • CSV import is available for unsupported ATSs

Watch out

  • No free plan or free trial
  • Direct payroll integration is not yet available

Who it suits

Open Referral suits companies with 50 to 3,000 employees that currently manage referrals manually. It may also suit HR teams looking to connect referrals with an ATS and manage bonus workflows.

Verdict

Open Referral brings referral submissions, ATS tracking, and bonus management into one workflow. Buyers should account for the lack of a free option and the current reliance on payroll exports rather than direct payroll integration.
