One application / referral per minute

1 points by dougludlow ↗ HN
A few hours ago, we launched the following page:

jobs.useHipster.com

Essentially, we're offering a years worth of PBR, $10,000, and a whole bunch of Hipster swag if we end up hiring someone you refer.

The results are blowing us away. We're getting one new referral every minute, and approx. 10% of those referrals / applications are from people we would have had to hire a recruiter to find. We've done postings on Craigslist and Crunchboard to date, but nothing has come close to this campaign in terms of leads.

If you're interested in doing a similar campaign for your startup, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about pulling it off!
