Using the referral link is optional and does not improve your selection chances or affect how we present the listing. Rewards vary by role. Turing determines whether a referral qualifies. Generally, the candidate must be new to Turing, the referral must be credited to the first referrer through Turing’s portal or public referral page, and the candidate must be hired, complete onboarding, and meet the required work milestone—normally at least 10 worked hours. Candidates already in Turing’s applicant system, already under consideration or otherwise known to Turing, current or former employees or contractors, and candidates who applied directly within the previous 90 days do not qualify under the reviewed terms. Referrers must obtain consent before submitting a candidate’s personal information.
