ContactGraphjob referral platform
Referrals from people who actually know you.
A job referral platform built on your real relationships — find open roles at companies where someone in your graph can refer you, then reach out directly.
How it works
How ContactGraph works as a referral platform
01
Map your referral network
Import contacts from phone and LinkedIn. ContactGraph identifies who works where and how strong each relationship is.
02
Match jobs to referrers
Live job listings are matched to companies where you have a contact — surfacing referral opportunities you would otherwise miss.
03
Reach out to your referrer
ContactGraph shows you who to ask and what role they hold. The outreach is yours — text, call, or message people you already trust.
04
Track your referral paths
Save target companies, monitor new openings, and see when new roles appear at employers where you already have a connection.
Benefits
Real referrals vs. paid referral marketplaces
People who know your work
Paid referral platforms connect you with strangers who do not know your background. ContactGraph starts with people who have actually worked with you.
No referral fees
ContactGraph is free for personal use. You are not paying a stranger $50 to submit your resume into their company's referral portal.
Higher conversion
Referrals from genuine relationships convert at much higher rates than anonymous marketplace submissions.
Use cases
When to use a referral-first workflow
- Applying to competitive companies. At companies with thousands of applicants per role, a referral from someone who knows your work is often the only way in.
- Switching industries. A referral from someone who can vouch for your transferable skills matters more than a keyword-optimized resume.
- Returning to a former employer. Search your graph for contacts still at companies where you previously worked — boomerang hires often start with a warm referral.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Is ContactGraph a paid referral marketplace?
- No. ContactGraph does not connect you with stranger referrers or charge referral fees. It helps you find referral paths through people you already know.
- Does ContactGraph submit referrals on my behalf?
- No. ContactGraph shows you who to ask. You reach out directly to people in your network — the same way referrals work in the real world.
- How is this different from LinkedIn referrals?
- LinkedIn shows you connections at a company but not which ones would actually refer you. ContactGraph ranks contacts by relationship strength and matches them to specific open roles.
- Can I use ContactGraph alongside Refer Me or similar tools?
- Yes. Use ContactGraph for companies where you have real connections, and paid referral services only for companies where you have no network at all.
