Cash In On Your Social Networks

Edinburgh, May 2007, referral recruitment website JobTonic has linked up with social networking site My Neighbourhoods to connect web users to jobs in their local area. JobTonic rewards “home headhunters” for referring their friends for new jobs.

The partnership will see JobTonic’s 700+ vacancies listed on the My Neighbourhood site for members to refer to their contacts. Where referrals are successful and lead to a hire, the referrer will be rewarded with a cheque from JobTonic as a thank you for finding the right candidate. Rewards vary by employer and vacancy but sums ranging from £50 to £2000 are currently up for grabs to the right person.

Members of My Neighbourhoods can now easily locate jobs in their area and apply online. With more and more people working for smaller companies, you never know what new start up or well-established niche player might be around the corner from you. By cross-referencing contacts with job vacancies by location, My Neighbourhoods’ members are at a unique advantage when it comes to earning money from referrals.

Danny Bull, Founder, My Neighbourhoods commented “by teaming up with the JobTonic guys, we’re now able to put our members in touch with local employers as well as giving them a route to finding out which companies and jobs are available in their geographical area. The financial benefit to our members is excellent too.”

Nick Goldstein, General Manager, JobTonic commented “we are happy to be expanding the reach of our vacancies by working with My Neighbourhoods and I look forward to rewarding more people for making job referrals online”.
