Open Referral
Open Referral
Five years in the field, hundreds of referral programs analyzed. We built Open Referral to solve real problems — not to add one more tool.
— Amandine, co-founder
I helped dozens of companies — startups, scale-ups, large groups —
roll out their referral programs.
The results were there. But the day-to-day for HR teams was exhausting.
Manually checking each employee's eligibility. Catching duplicates.
Calculating bonuses. Exporting for payroll. Chasing managers.
Hours lost every week on repetitive tasks.
"Complex platforms promised automation. In reality, we were still doing everything by hand."
Simple tools automated nothing.
Enterprise platforms cost a fortune and took months to set up.
Either way, spreadsheets stayed unavoidable.
So Michel and I built what was missing:
a tool that sets up the same day, actually integrates with your ATS,
and automates everything else. Setup & Forget. For real.
Five years running referral programs for all kinds of companies.
I saw the wins, but more importantly I mapped every friction point, every task that wasted HR's time without creating any value.
Open Referral is everything I learned on the ground, turned into a product.
Simple, honest, effective.
10 years in B2B tech. Deeptech, legaltech, analytics.
Always in the trenches.
Every job I've had came through a referral. Not luck. Trust. Someone put their name on the line for me.
That's how I know it works. And that's how I know the system behind it is broken.
Open Referral is the product I wish I'd had from day one.
