If Employers have received such prior applications, they have the obligation to inform Noble. Candidates also are given the opportunity to confirm or reject the statement of Employers. Employers are duly obliged to provide verification of such prior application which is not received through the Platform whenever needed to prove the truthiness of the statement.

The Referrer shall then open the page for which they would like to create an Invite Link and then click/ tap on the Referrer dashboard (the icon with the 3 people on the top right corner on the Noble Hire Platform) or click the “Refer Candidate” button if the Referrer is on a job position page.

Finally, the Referrer gets an Invite Link which the latter can email, share on social media platforms or post on their website.

If a Candidate is interested and they click on the shared Invite Link, they need to register on the Noble Hire Platform and start applying.

The Candidate might be contacted and interviewed by an Employer on the Platform.

If the recruitment by the specific Employer/s is successful and made within 6 months as of the registration of the Candidate at the Platform and the Candidate has retained his/her working position on a precise workplace for at least 3 (three) months as of signing of the employment agreement, the Referrer receives a referral bonus as mentioned above in point 2 of the present Terms.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF A REFERRER

The identification of Referrers is established by Candidates who use the specially generated links for both options. For the “Refer via CV” option the Candidate should follow the generated hyperlink incorporated in the email sent by Noble- in this case the establishment is proven automatically due to the unique hyperlink, which is generated. For the “Invite Link” option the Candidate should use the shareable referral link available on other platforms, access the Noble Hire Platform through it and create an account. Please bear in mind that regarding the “Invite Link” option, the Referrer who receives the bonus is only the one whose link was used last by the Candidate and via which the Candidate has registered on the Platform.

Please bear in mind that Candidates are solely responsible for the due and proper establishment of the Referrer’s identity. If a Candidate self-registers on the Platform without the hyperlink, Noble cannot identify the Referrer. In this case, the Referrer agrees that Noble is not responsible in any way for the lack of information about the Referrer and does not owe the Referrer any remuneration. The above-mentioned applies when a Candidate has received a specific referral (through “Refer via CV” option) connected to one email address of the Candidate but the latter self-registers with another email address on the Platform. Any claims in the present cases should be directed solely to the Candidate who has not provided such information about the referral activity. Noble may pay remuneration to the Referrer at its own discretion if the Candidate after the registration contacts Noble’s team and in writing confirms the Referrer’s participation. The verification of the Candidate related to the written confirmation may be subject to additional requirements by Noble, which the Candidate should execute and any expenses related to the actions of proof shall be paid by the Candidate.
