Know a business that hires IT contractors or is planning to grow its technology team?

Put us in touch and turn your network into a reward. When your introduction leads to qualifying contractor placements, you’ll be paid for it.

Open to professionals and businesses across the UK. You do not need to be a current or former Talent Today contractor to take part.

If you know a business that hires IT contractors, this is your opportunity to turn that connection into a meaningful reward.

Earn £1,000 when your introduction turns into a new client and their first contractor completes three months. Earn a further £500 for each additional qualifying contractor, up to £5,000 per client. Full terms apply.

What you could earn

​

​£1,000

​For the first qualifying contractor placed with your referred business.

The business must sign Talent Today’s terms, the contractor must start within 12 months of your referral being accepted, complete three consecutive months, and all relevant invoices must be paid.

​£500

​For each additional qualifying contractor placed with the same business.

Each contractor must complete three consecutive months and all relevant invoices must be paid.

Up to £5,000

​The maximum reward available from a single referred client.

You can introduce more than one business. Each eligible introduction is assessed separately and can generate its own reward.

​

​

1. Your details

2. Who are you referring?

For example, the skills they need, likely hiring timescale or team they are growing.

3. Making the introduction

Please obtain their permission before submitting this form.
A warm email introduction is recommended because it normally receives a better response.

4. Conflicts of interest

You cannot submit this referral until you have received written permission from the company. Talent Today may ask to see evidence of this permission before approving or paying a reward.

5. Your confirmation

​

A simple introduction can go a long way

Good opportunities often start with a conversation between the right people.

If someone in your network hires IT contractors, leads a technology team or is planning a new project, introduce them to Talent Today.

There’s no pitch to prepare and no detail to gather. Just make the introduction. We’ll handle everything from there.

How it works

1. Think of someone in your network

This could be a hiring manager, technology leader, business owner, talent professional or anyone involved in hiring IT contractors.

2. Ask their permission

Check that they are happy to be introduced to Talent Today or contacted by us directly.

You must also tell them that you may receive a financial reward if the introduction leads to qualifying business.

3. Register your introduction

Complete the official Client Connect Rewards form.

This creates a record of your introduction and allows us to check whether the business qualifies as a new Talent Today client.

4. Make the connection

You can send a warm email introduction or ask us to contact the person directly.

A warm introduction is recommended, but it is not compulsory if the person has agreed to hear from us.

5. We take it from there

We will speak with your contact, understand their requirements and explain how Talent Today can support them.

If your introduction leads to qualifying placements, we will track the rewards and contact you when payment is due.

Who should I introduce?

We would love to meet people responsible for hiring IT contractors or building technology teams, including:

  • IT directors and technology leaders.

  • Chief technology officers and chief information officers.

  • Heads of engineering and software development.

  • Transformation, change and programme leaders.

  • Cybersecurity, cloud and data leaders.

  • Talent acquisition and recruitment teams.

  • Procurement and supplier-management contacts.

  • Business owners planning technology projects.

  • Hiring managers who use specialist IT contractors.

The business might be:

  • Hiring IT contractors now.

  • Planning to grow its technology team.

  • Starting a technology or transformation project.

  • Struggling to find specialist IT skills.

  • Looking for additional recruitment support.

  • Reviewing its recruitment suppliers.

  • Building a more flexible contractor workforce.

You do not need to know every detail. An introduction to the right person is enough.

What counts as a new client?

The business must normally:

  • Not currently be receiving recruitment services from Talent Today.

  • Not have received recruitment services from us during the previous 24 months.

  • Not have been in active discussions with us during the previous six months.

  • Not have been referred previously by someone else.

We will review your introduction and let you know whether it has been accepted.

Your referral is only officially accepted when you receive written confirmation and a referral reference number from Talent Today.

Who can take part?

Client Connect Rewards is open to eligible UK residents aged 18 or over and eligible UK-based businesses.

You could be:

  • A current or former Talent Today contractor.

  • A candidate.

  • A client or former client.

  • A professional contact.

  • A member of our wider network.

  • Someone who has never worked with Talent Today before.

You do not need to be a contractor to participate.

Talent Today employees and professional recruitment or lead-generation businesses cannot participate unless separate written terms have been agreed.

Why introduce Talent Today?

Talent Today specialises in IT contract recruitment.

We help businesses find and engage experienced IT contractors, managing the process from the initial requirement through to contractor start.

Your contact will receive a straightforward conversation about what they need and how we may be able to help.

Your role is to make the introduction. We will handle everything else.

Do I need to make a sales pitch?

No.

You only need to make the introduction. Talent Today will manage the conversation, commercial discussions and recruitment process.

Do I have to send a warm email introduction?

No, although we recommend it.

If your contact has agreed, you can ask Talent Today to contact them directly and mention your name.

Whichever option you choose, you must register the introduction through the official form.

Can I send the email introduction first?

Yes.

If you introduce us by email before completing the form, we will send you the form link. You must complete it within five working days.

Provided the referral is eligible, we may use the time of your original email when deciding who made the introduction first.

What counts as a successful introduction?

The referral must be accepted as an eligible new-client introduction.

The referred business must then:

  • Sign Talent Today’s recruitment terms within 12 months.

  • Have a qualifying IT contractor start within the same 12-month period.

  • Retain the contractor for three consecutive months.

  • Pay the relevant invoices in full.

What happens if the first contractor leaves before three months?

That placement will not qualify for a reward.

Another contractor may qualify if they start within the original 12-month period and meet all the reward conditions.

When will I be paid?

Payment will normally be made within 30 days after:

  • All the reward conditions have been met.

  • Talent Today has confirmed that the reward is payable.

  • We have received any payment details, identification or invoice required.

Can I introduce more than one business?

Yes.

Each eligible business introduction will be assessed separately and can generate rewards of up to £5,000.

What happens if two people introduce the same business?

The reward will normally belong to the first person who submits a complete and eligible introduction that Talent Today accepts.

We will use form records, email timestamps and our business records to determine which introduction was received first.

What if Talent Today already knows the business?

A historic contact or database record will not automatically make your referral ineligible.

However, it will not qualify if the business is already a client, has received services from Talent Today during the previous 24 months or has been in active discussions with us during the previous six months.

We will check and confirm whether your introduction has been accepted.

Can I introduce a business I work with?

Potentially.

You must check your contract and the business’s gifts, procurement and conflicts policies.

You must tell the business about the potential reward. If you influence recruitment supplier decisions or expenditure, you may need written approval before submitting the introduction.

Is this a candidate referral programme?

No.

Client Connect Rewards is for introducing new businesses that may need IT contract recruitment support.

Candidate or contractor referrals for individual vacancies are not included.

Is the reward taxable?

It may be.

You are responsible for declaring any reward and paying any tax that may be due. Please obtain your own tax advice if you are unsure.

Before you make an introduction

Get their permission

Your contact must agree to being introduced to Talent Today or contacted by us directly.

They must know that:

  • Talent Today provides IT contract recruitment services.

  • You are sharing their business contact details with us.

  • We may contact them about their hiring requirements.

  • You may receive a reward if the introduction leads to qualifying business.

Check for any conflicts

Taking part must not breach your contract or the referred business’s gifts, procurement or conflicts policies.

If you work for the business or are involved in selecting recruitment suppliers, approving agencies or authorising expenditure, you may need written permission from an authorised representative of the business.

Talent Today may ask to see evidence of this permission.

Complete the form

Every introduction must be registered through the official Client Connect Rewards form.

A warm email introduction on its own is not enough to claim a reward.

If you send a warm introduction first, we will send you the form link. You must complete it within five working days for the introduction to qualify.
