Chainstaff

Chainstaff is a recruitment platform that brings open positions into real professional networks through referrals rather than traditional job boards. Founded with the belief that good people are known, the company makes talent visible by leveraging personal and professional networks. The platform operates on a success-based model where employers post jobs, set bounties for successful referrals, and only pay when a hire occurs. No upfront recruitment costs are charged, making it a cost-controlled hiring model without waste.

The platform's approach emphasises quality over quantity. Chainstaff users share job opportunities strategically across LinkedIn, WhatsApp and other social channels, creating a community-driven recruitment experience. When a successful hire occurs, the bounty is distributed among the referred person, the referrer and the broader Chainstaff community. The company reports over 1000 active network members generating 70% lower cost per hire and 3x higher quality through recommendations compared to traditional methods.

Chainstaff operates across multiple countries and integrates with applicant tracking systems, allowing candidate recommendations to flow directly into recruitment workflows. The platform offers both standalone job posting and internal recommendation system functionality. The Swiss company models its bounty structure on a pro-rata basis, with payments staggered across recruitment milestones to protect employers in cases where placements do not work out long-term.
