The Hidden Cost of Bad Hires (And How to Avoid Them)
Hiring mistakes are expensive. Traditional sourcing makes them more likely.
• Up to 2× annual salary lost per bad hire
• Job boards overload recruiters with irrelevant candidates
• Internal referral programs often underperform due to weak incentives and low accountability
• Interview fatigue for your team, frustration for applicants
WIP helps you skip the noise by connecting you with trusted referrals who have skin in the game.
How WIP works
WIP is a new kind of referral platform—built for speed, trust, and outcome-based hiring.
- Post a job (or send us the JD—we’ll handle the listing)
- Set the success fee you’ll pay us if a referral leads to a hire, we’ll help you determine the sweet spot
- Referrals flow in from KYC-verified insiders
- Referrers stake at least $20 to submit a candidate
- This ensures they only refer people they trust — no spam or fluff
- You review, interview, and hire We do not interfere with your process — act as you used to.
- Pay the bounty only if the candidate is hired. You only pay if someone gets hired. The referrer earns their reward. If they fail probation we refund 100%
