Who to refer
Check four things first.

- 02They work in architecture, interiors, BIM, technical or practice support and are open to a move.
- 03They are not already known to us, active with us or referred by someone else first.

Questions
Before you ask us.
Who should I refer?
Refer someone in architecture, interiors, BIM, technical or practice support who is open to a job move and has agreed for you to share their details.
Do I need their permission first?
Yes. Please ask before submitting their details. A referral should help the person, not surprise them.
When is the reward paid?
Rewards are only paid after the person is placed, the relevant qualifying period or probation is complete, and the referral remains eligible under the scheme terms. In practice that means three months after they start, and once the placement has been settled with us.
What reward can I earn?
Eligible rewards currently range from £100 to £500 in e-vouchers, depending on whether the placement is contract or permanent and the salary level.
What if the person is already known to Architecture Social?
If the person is already known to us, already active with us or was referred by someone else first, the referral may not qualify for a reward.
What is the next step?
Use the form on this page. You do not need an account, and if you create one afterwards with the same email address the referral attaches to it automatically.
Scheme terms
The published terms.
- Who can join
- Anyone in the UK aged 18 or over, provided they are not employed by Architecture Social. Please only refer someone after they have given permission, and only if they are not already known to us.
- Rewards
- Eligible rewards are e-vouchers from Amazon, John Lewis or Marks & Spencer: £100 for a contractor who contracts for at least one month, £300 for a permanent hire up to £60k salary, £400 for a permanent hire between £60k and £100k, and £500 for a permanent hire over £100k salary.
- Payment
- Vouchers are sent after the person is placed, the relevant probation or qualifying period is complete, and the placement remains eligible. There is no cash alternative.
- Timing
- A referral is live for three months from the date it is submitted. If the person does not accept an offer within that period the referral expires and no reward is payable. Where an offer is accepted, the start date does not affect eligibility. The reward is payable once the person has completed three months in the role and the placement has been settled with us, and is not payable if they leave before that.
- Rules
- One reward is available per eligible placement, normally to the first valid referrer. No reward is payable if the person is not hired, leaves before the qualifying period, does not pass probation, is already known to us or cannot be processed under the scheme.
- Data and fairness
- Architecture Social follows GDPR and equality law. Voucher choices may change depending on availability, and Architecture Social may vary, pause or end the referral scheme if needed.
Not sure if they qualify?
Ask us before you send it. We would rather answer than lose a good introduction.
