ION Talent

Referral Terms

Last updated: August 2026

Submitting an introduction does not automatically guarantee eligibility for a reward. Referrals are subject to verification, eligibility requirements and ION Talent's referral terms.

Genuine introductions only

The referral programme is intended for genuine introductions to real hiring opportunities. You must have a lawful basis or permission to share the contact details you submit.

New ION Talent clients only

A reward applies only where the referred company is a genuinely new ION Talent client. Companies that are already ION Talent clients, or that are already engaged in a hiring conversation with ION Talent at the time of referral, are not eligible.

Verification and eligibility

Every introduction is reviewed and verified before it is accepted into the referral pipeline. ION Talent determines eligibility at its sole discretion, applying the criteria set out in these terms.

Existing clients and pre-existing conversations

Introductions to companies with an existing commercial relationship with ION Talent, or with whom ION Talent already has an active or recent hiring conversation, are not eligible for a reward.

Duplicate referrals

Where the same company is referred by more than one person, the reward — if any becomes payable — is credited to the first eligible introduction received, as determined by ION Talent's records.

Successful placement requirement

A reward only becomes payable once the referred company has become a new client and ION Talent has completed a successful placement for that client arising from the introduction.

Client invoice payment requirement

In addition to a successful placement, the client must have paid ION Talent's invoice for that placement in full before a reward is payable.

Replacement or rebate period

If a placement falls within ION Talent's applicable replacement or rebate period and a rebate is issued to the client, any associated referral reward may be reduced, withheld or reclaimed accordingly.

Reward payment timing

Eligible rewards are paid within a reasonable period after all eligibility conditions above have been satisfied, including cleared receipt of the client's invoice payment.

Employer-policy restrictions

If your employer's policies restrict or prohibit you from receiving referral rewards or similar incentives, you are responsible for complying with those policies. ION Talent may decline to pay a reward where it becomes aware of such a restriction.

Applicable-law restrictions

Rewards are only payable where permitted under applicable law in the referrer's and ION Talent's relevant jurisdictions. ION Talent will not make a payment that would breach applicable law or regulation.

Tax responsibility

You are solely responsible for any tax liability arising from a referral reward you receive. ION Talent does not provide tax advice.

One reward per referred company

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, only one referral reward is payable per referred company, regardless of how many roles are ultimately filled for that client.

ION Talent's right to reject an introduction

ION Talent may reject, disqualify or decline to reward any introduction it reasonably considers fraudulent, invalid, ineligible or submitted without proper permission, at its sole discretion.
