The referral bounty initiative was born during a very difficult moment for the market (pandemic and post-pandemic bubble) and its formulae was thought out for a small company in a fast growing phase.
The situation changed a lot lately, both outside and inside SparkFabrik. We recognize and appreciate the usefulness of this tool, but it requires to evolve and adapt to the new context.
In particular, the program should reward those who play an active role in building meaningful professional bridges: recommending SparkFabrik to someone they trust, while at the same time recommending that person to SparkFabrik. This “mutual recommendation” ensures that the bonus truly reflects a solid contribution, not just a casual mention.
Also, some roles in the company are - by nature - involved in the recruitment and promotion process, so they should be excluded from the bounty if not for very special case, that can be evaluated by the board case-by-case.
We need to review the policy on the playbook to better reflect these changes.
