HOW WE HANDLE REFERRALS

Selective Mandates

We don’t circulate CVs widely or run high-volume pipelines and we work on a limited number of hiring mandates where companies are serious about hiring and roles are clearly defined.

 

Discreet Introductions

Many of the roles we work on involve confidential or targeted searches. Referrals are handled privately and shared only with companies where there is genuine alignment.

 

Long-Term Relationships

Some referrals lead to immediate conversations. Others may be relevant later. We stay in touch with strong profiles and reconnect when the right opportunity appears.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You can easily refer a candidate by clicking the “Refer Someone” button on our website, filling out the referral form, and submitting their details. You can also provide us with their resume or LinkedIn profile link.

We ask for basic information such as the candidate’s name, email address, and a resume or LinkedIn profile. You can also include any additional details about their skills or roles they’re interested in. If not a trouble, you can add a quick description of why you are referring them. How exciting!

Yes, depending on the role and the client, there may be a referral bonus of up to $500 for successful placements. 

Our talent team will review the candidate’s profile. If the candidate matches current opportunities, we will reach out to them directly for further discussions.

No follow-up is necessary, but you can reach out to us if you want updates on the candidate’s progress. We will notify both you and the candidate if any opportunities move forward.

There is no limit to the number of candidates you can refer. However, we encourage quality over quantity, and only refer candidates that meet our clients’ needs.

Absolutely! If you believe you’re a good fit for any open positions, feel free to submit your own profile.

Substance supports companies hiring for leadership, specialist, and commercially important roles across areas such as strategy, finance, technology, and operations.

We work with organisations across Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and the Middle East, often supporting searches that require targeted outreach rather than open job advertising.

If the candidate isn’t a match for current roles, we’ll keep their information on file and reach out when a suitable opportunity becomes available. 

Think of jobs – think of Substance!
