Refer a person. Refer a company.
Get paid when it works.
A candidate is a one-time placement, so it pays once. A company is recurring revenue, so it pays every month they stay. Fill the form, we do the rest, and you hear the outcome either way.
USD 250 when they are deployed, USD 250 more if they are still in the seat at day 90.
$250 when they are deployed, $250 if they are still in the seat at day 90. Paid per person contracted, not per CV sent.
Of everything they bill Kurios, every month, for twelve months. It stops when they stop — you keep whatever was paid.
Of our search fee when a referred company hires an executive through us. On a USD 200k mandate that is about USD 4,400.
Who can refer?
Anyone. Clients, deployed team members, partners, friends of the company. You do not need to work at Kurios.
What if they were already talking to Kurios?
First referral on record wins, and we tell you within two business days if they were already in the pipeline. No silent disqualification.
What if the company cancels after three months?
You keep everything paid up to that point. The 5% follows their actual billing, so it stops when they stop.
When exactly do I get paid?
Candidate track: within ten days of deployment, and again within ten days of day 90. Company track: monthly, alongside their invoice.
Amounts are indicative. Final program terms are set per agreement.
Who this is actually for
The programme works for people already sitting in the flow of these conversations: solar consultants and brokers, equipment distributors, financing partners, energy-sector recruiters, fractional CFOs and COOs working with installers, and operators who have run these teams themselves and get asked for advice. If you hear "we need someone to handle this but we cannot justify a U.S. salary for it" more than a few times a year, the programme is worth your time.
It does not work as a mass-referral scheme. There is no link to spam and no tiered downline. Payment is tied to a placement that survives, which means a referral into a company that is not ready costs you effort and pays nothing.
What a good referral looks like
A warm introduction to someone with budget authority who has already named the problem. The strongest ones come with one sentence of context — which role, why now, what they have already tried. That single sentence roughly doubles the rate at which an introduction becomes a placement, because the first call starts at the real question instead of at a company overview.
The weakest referrals are lists of company names with no relationship behind them. We will not work them and you will not get paid for them, so it is better to send three good introductions a quarter than thirty cold names.
Why payment is staged
On the candidate track the payment splits across deployment and day 90 rather than landing entirely at signature. That is deliberate: it aligns everyone around placements that hold. On the company track the recurring share means a client who stays is worth more to you than a client who churns, which is the same incentive we carry. If a placement is replaced under the free-replacement guarantee, your referral still counts — the guarantee is our risk, not yours.
Attribution is recorded at introduction, not at signature, so a deal that takes five months to close is still yours. If two people introduce the same company, the first recorded introduction holds.
What we ask of you
Only that you do not oversell. Send people we can genuinely help, and describe this honestly — a nearshore team on their time zone, not an offshore price play and not a body shop. If we are the wrong answer for someone you introduce, we will tell them so on the first call. That is the only way a referral relationship survives more than a year.
