Usage and Subscriptions. To fully utilize or access the Services, you must register for one of three (3) types of User subscriptions to our Services as outlined below. All Users create accounts by providing an email and a registered LinkedIn account, registering a Stripe account to provide for secure payments to and from Company, and paying the required Usage and/or Subscription Fee as applicable.
1. Individual User Subscription.Individual Users create a profile (“Individual Profile”) where they can document their career interests, job styles, salary requirements, and ideal companies they would work for if they were to change jobs/careers. The Individual Profile will host uploaded copies of an individual’s first-degree LinkedIn connections and allow Individual Users to review and “Recommend” or “Not Recommend” their connections. Individuals can only Recommend 10% of their connections, up to 250 Recommendations in total. An Individual User can list the top three skills of Recommended colleagues. The Platform will aggregate Recommendations and Top Skills of Individual Users, while keeping anonymous which Individual Users have Recommended or Not Recommended others. Individuals Users can also Refer their Recommended colleagues to open job listings posted on the Platform. The Individual Profile will allow Individual Users to receive Referrals and approve or deny them before they are provided to a Hiring Company. Each Individual Profile is masked to Recruiters, only showing a limited amount of information. The Individual users will receive a payment (“Referral Payment”) when their Referral is hired on the Coferral platform, when their Recommended colleagues are hired on the Coferral platform (“Recommendation Payment”) and when their Individual Profile has been unlocked by Recruiters to see the entire Individual Profile (“Unlock Payment”).
2. Hiring Company Subscription.Hiring Companies create a profile (“Company Profile”) where they can describe their company, culture, and perks/benefits of working for them. Individual members of a Hiring Company User are allowed to create their own profile under the Hiring Company’s account umbrella. Hiring Companies agree to pay a fee to Coferral to list open job listings on the Coferral platform, which fee is charged when the job is initially listed and monthly until the job listing is closed, and to pay Referral Payments and Service Fees through the Platform. The Company Profile allows Hiring Companies to receive Referrals from Recruiters and Individual Users for its open job listings, which it can accept or deny. The Hiring Company can rank the quality of the Referral made to them for an open job listing, which will be reflected on the Individual User or Recruiter making the Referral. The Platform will process Referral Payments from Hiring Companies to Individual Users and/or Recruiters along with Service Fees, inclusive of Recommendation Payments to Individual Users, when the Hiring Company fills an open role through a Referral made on Coferral. If you are a Staffing Agency or Representative of a Staffing Agency interested in using the Services you must register as a Hiring Company and are subject to all terms and conditions specific to Hiring Companies.
3. Recruiter Subscription. Recruiters create a profile (“Recruiter Profile”) to represent themselves as a Recruiter, distinct from an Individual User. Recruiters can search Coferral’s database of Individual Users for the Individual Users’ defined career interests/preferences, the number of times they’ve been Recommended by their colleagues, and for which top skills they’ve been recommended. Recruiters can pay a fee to “Unlock” an Individual Profile to see the Individual Users’ full profile and contact information. Recruiters can then refer any Individual User whose account they have Unlocked to an open job listing on the Platform. The Platform will also process Referral Payments to Recruiters who have Referred an Individual User to an open job listing and that Individual User is hired through the Coferral Platform.
Company may offer some services as automatically renewing subscriptions, e.g., a one-month subscription, or an annual subscription. IF YOU PURCHASE AN AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD AT COMPANY’S THEN-CURRENT RATES FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTION, UNLESS YOU ACTIVELY CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION.
