Frequently asked questions

What is Liftoff?

Liftoff is a hiring and networking platform that helps you find an incredible fit, through people you trust.

The future of hiring is social, so we’ve built a product that makes it easy for you to share role opportunities and people with your network – and for your network to make the right connections happen.

This means better fits, less noise, and more warmth.

Who uses Liftoff?

Liftoff users are people at tech startups who are hiring, connecting others, or even job-seeking themselves – sometimes all at the same time.

We have a community of leaders on Liftoff that we call Top Connectors. These are leaders from top companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Notion, Clay, and Granola who have built teams at hyper-growth companies and continue to bring their networks onto Liftoff.

How does Liftoff work?

On Liftoff you can share role searches and people with your private network — and make connections happen. It starts with a hiring team creating a search:

1. Create a Search

Hiring Managers or Recruiters create a Search on Liftoff for a role, and ask people in their network for suggestions on people by sharing a link.

2. Set a Match Incentive

The Hiring Manager or Recruiter (with approval from their company) sets a Match Incentive, or referral bonus, that will be paid out to anyone who contributes to finding a match. This Match Incentive is paid out only if the company hires a candidate and they remain in the role for 90 days, so trying Liftoff is completely risk free.

3. Connectors submit suggestions

People can submit suggestions through the Hiring Manager's job search link, or generate their own unique link to loop others into the search and get a 10% cut of the Incentive if their share leads to a hire.

4. Hiring Team requests intros from Connectors

The hiring team reviews suggestions, and request intros to candidates they want to meet from the connector who suggested them. Hiring Managers and Recruiters agree to not reach out directly to candidates unless they've discussed it with the connector.

5. Once a candidate is hired, the Match Incentive gets paid out to the Connectors

If the company decides to hire someone, they mark them "hired" on Liftoff. After 90 days of the candidate being in the role, the Match Incentive is paid out via Liftoff to the person who suggested and introduced the candidate, as well as anyone in that linear thread that led to that person. Anyone who shared the search along the linear thread that led to that intro will get a 10% cut, and the person who submitted the candidate will get the remainder.

Beyond searches, you can also share people you recommend on Liftoff. Anyone can share a recommended person with their network, and their network can then request an intro.

What is a Match Incentive and who gets it?

A Match Incentive is a financial reward you can offer to your external network — for anyone who can help you find candidates. It's similar to a referral bonus, except a "referral bonus" is just for internal employees. A Match Incentive can be much larger in value, which enables a job search to travel much farther and unlock deeper pockets of networks that you wouldn't otherwise be able to access.

After 90 days of the candidate being in the role, the Match Incentive is paid out to the linear thread of people who introduced the hiring manager to the candidate. If any "intermediate connector" forwarded the search in that thread, they will receive 10% of the match incentive, and the remainder will go to the person who ultimately submitted the candidate.

What happens if multiple people suggest the same person?

This sometimes happens, and in fact it can be incredibly valuable for you as a hiring manager to see that multiple people have vouched for the same individual (try to hire those people!). If this happens, the Match Incentive will be paid out to the people that the hiring manager or recruiter requests an intro to the candidate from. This includes the person who suggested the candidate, and anyone that contributed to that linear referral thread that led to that introduction.

For now, our policy is that any others outside of the thread that made the intro will not get any of the Match Incentive. This is because the majority of the work done by a connector is making an intro between people, not simply suggesting a person.

I know someone who's hiring. How can I help them?

We love it when great people recommend great people. Feel free to direct them to our hiring waitlist. If you're part of the Liftoff community, they can list you as a referrer to cut the line.
