ChumBonus – How it works

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

We’ve met so many people over the past few months since our launch – and it’s been great.  But from time to time we get a few of you who email us to ask us how ChumBonus works.  To make it easy, we thought we’d post a quick overview for those who haven’t yet figured us out. Let us know if you still have questions.

How We Work:

1. A client posts a job on the ChumBonus site for free and declares a bonus amount they are willing to pay to the person who refers the candidate that is ultimately hired by the client.  The bonus acts in the same way an employee referral bonus works within a company.  Clients can also elect to designate an amount they will donate to charity when a hire is made.

2. The referrer checks out the ChumBonus site and looks for job listings that match their “chum’s” qualifications.

3. With a click of a button, referrers can send a link to the job description to their chum.

4. The chum reviews all the details about the job and applies right on the ChumBonus site.

5. From there, the potential hirer reviews the candidate’s resume and decides if the applicant is a viable candidate for the job and if so, initializes their internal screening process.

6. When the applicant is hired, the referrer receives their referral bonus – usually within four weeks.

7. As an added feature, ChumBonus enables referrers to donate a portion of their referral bonus to a charity of their choice. Users simply choose this option on the ChumBonus site.

Of course, if you still have questions or comments, don’t hesitate to contact us.  We would love to hear from you.

New way to Donate to your Cause

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Donating to your favorite charity can be challenging in today’s tight economy. But what if you could donate a portion of your bonus to charity without ever feeling the hit? Well, here at ChumBonus, we offer you just that.

Through our charity donation program, you can donate a percentage or specific dollar amount of your referral bonus to your favorite charity. And, if you don’t see your favorite cause registered on the site, let us know and we will reach out to them and see if we can get them on board.

And, for all the charities out there, don’t miss out on this opportunity for additional donations. Use this Suggest a Charity button to get started.

At ChumBonus, we believe in giving. So alert the folks in your social network and tell them about this cool program. This year you may easily kill two birds with one stone – support your favorite charity and also give your friend the gift of a new job in 2010!
