Referrals

Vouch for someone reliable. Build standing on the platform.

When you bring a worker, contractor, or client onto DirectCrew, that connection becomes part of their permanent record — and yours. Good referrers build a track record other contractors can see. Vouching is how the trust graph gets built.

Attribution pipeline

Every referral moves through these stages.

Each stage strengthens the attribution between you and the person you brought on.

How referrals work

Five steps from referral to credit.

Credit is tied to verified profiles and completed work — not just signups.

01

Submit a referral

Tell us who they are and how you know them.

02

They start a profile

Trade, location, history, and credentials.

03

DirectCrew verifies

We confirm identity, contact, and basic credentials.

04

First project completed

Their first job closes with photos and signoff.

05

Referrer receives credit

Platform credit lands in your account.

What referrers get

Attribution that compounds — not a one-time bounty.

Referrals aren't a payout program. They're how the trust graph gets built.

Permanent attribution

Every worker, contractor, or client you bring stays connected to you on the platform. Their successful projects strengthen your standing.

Referrer track record

Other contractors can see how many people you've brought on and how those connections have worked out. Quality referrers become known sources of reliable people.

Founding referrer badge

First 50 active referrers get a permanent Founding Referrer badge visible on your profile.

Subscription credit on real conversions

When someone you refer becomes a paying subscriber and stays 60+ days, you get one month of subscription credit.

Referrals are tied to real, verifiable connections. Self-referrals, fake profiles, or referrals where the referrer has no real relationship to the referred person will be flagged and removed from the trust graph. We protect the integrity of attribution because the whole platform depends on it.

Submit a referral

Tell us who they are and why you trust them.

The more you share, the better we can match and verify. They confirm before anything is shared publicly.

By submitting, you agree to the DirectCrew referral terms. Attribution is established when the referred person verifies their profile. Subscription credits are issued when the referred person becomes a paying subscriber and stays at least 60 days.
