Your Network Is Your Net Worth, But Now, It Pays
In the professional world, we're often told, "your network is your net worth." For years, that phrase has captured the value of knowing the right people. Doors open, advice flows, and sometimes, a new job or big opportunity emerges. But for most of us, those crucial introductions and recommendations rarely translate into anything tangible, certainly not compensation.
Turning Connections into Compensation
At Preferrd, we think it’s time to change that. If your network truly is your net worth, why shouldn’t you see a direct benefit from the connections you nurture and the introductions you make?

Here’s how we do it:
When you refer a talented person to a new opportunity through Preferrd…
And that person lands the job…
You get paid. In real cash. No points, no vague “credit,” no delayed or confusing rewards. Just transparent, timely compensation for the value you delivered.
The Old Way vs. The New Way
Let’s be honest: recruitment agencies have long pocketed hefty commissions for successful placements—sometimes thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars per hire. Meanwhile, those of us making introductions in our own networks—often the best sources of trusted talent—are overlooked, unrecognised, and uncompensated.
That’s outdated. Preferrd is here to unlock the true value of your professional network, making sure those who do the connecting are finally rewarded.
Why This Matters Now
Our networks have never been broader or deeper. We’re connected across continents and industries, spanning former classmates, industry peers, mentors, colleagues, and digital communities. The talent you know—and the opportunities you hear about—are more valuable than ever.
But until now, the rewards haven’t matched that value.
A Platform Built for the Value of Connection
Every introduction you make has real-world impact—and at Preferrd, it now comes with real-world value. We believe in transparent, direct rewards for everyone who values their network and recognises the power of a quality introduction.
No points.
No hidden terms.
No more waiting for “credits” that never materialize.
Just cash. For the connections you make.
It Pays to Be Connected. Now, Literally
The phrase “it pays to be connected” is no longer just a saying. With Preferrd, it’s a reality you can count on.
Monetise your relationships. Reward your network. And unlock the value you’ve built, one introduction at a time.
Your network is your net worth. It’s about time you got paid for it.
