For Contributors

You have more power than you think.

A single referral from you could change someone’s career trajectory. A 30-minute resume review could be the difference between a callback and silence. It doesn’t take much – just intention.

How You Help

Choose how you want to contribute

Contributors choose the type and amount of help they give. There is no minimum commitment – every action matters.

Refer a candidate

Know of an opening at your company or in your network? Refer a qualified seeker directly. Internal referrals are the fastest path to interviews.

Conduct a mock interview

Run a practice technical or behavioural interview and give the seeker feedback they can act on before the real thing.

Post a job lead

Heard about an opening before it's public? Share it with the community. Even a brief heads-up gives seekers a significant advantage.

Mentor a seeker

Provide longer-term guidance on career direction, skill development, and navigating the current IT job market in your domain.

Review a resume

Give a seeker actionable feedback on their CV and LinkedIn profile. You know what good looks like - share that knowledge.

Make an introduction

Know someone who's hiring or would benefit from meeting a particular seeker? A warm intro is worth more than a hundred cold applications.

Eligibility

Who should be a contributor?

Any IT professional who is currently employed, has hiring influence, or has meaningful professional connections. You don’t need to be a CTO to change someone’s career.

Working engineers & developers

You have a referral link at your company and domain knowledge to assess candidates.

Senior & principal engineers

Your technical depth makes you an invaluable mock interviewer and career guide.

Startup founders & leaders

You're often hiring or know who is. A lead from you can cut months off a seeker's search.

Hiring managers & team leads

You know what good looks like and have direct influence over the hiring process.

HR & Talent professionals

You can connect seekers with open roles and help them optimise their job search strategy.

Freelancers with strong networks

You work across many companies and have visibility into opportunities that job boards miss entirely.
