If you are new to Sixley, we recommend checking out our hirer guides below:
Sixley is an online platform that makes it easy for you and your team to ask for and reward recommendations from colleagues, industry peers or your LinkedIn and other social networks.
Uniquely, Sixley allows everyone contacted about your role to apply, recommend someone else or share the role with their communities. By joining up the path of referral to referral, we ‘bridge the six degrees’ to a hire.
We track every interaction and connect you with recommended people who are actively interested in your role. With full provenance, you can then decide whether you want to meet or reject applicants.
When a role is closed, every recommender or applicant is contacted. We automatically reward everyone in the path that led to your hire with Amazon vouchers or, if they prefer, with a donation to a charity of their choice.
We believe that every recommendation matters, so we allocate some of the reward to a charity pot that’s voted on by unsuccessful recommenders. It’s a small way of saying thanks.
For our premium clients, we offer a range of integrated services designed to put referrals into every role. Through ClearTalent, we also allow them to automatically share roles with matched individuals from a range of diverse and specialist talent pools.
Sixley works across all roles:
For permanent roles, you can choose whether to pay an upfront fee with rewards set by you payable on hire or to pay on a success-only basis. For contract and internal-only roles, you will be charged an upfront fee .

By definition, a CSV file uses commas to begin a new cell. In other words, when Data Import sees an unescaped comma, it assumes you are starting a new column entry.
You can escape this restriction, for example to enter the number 1,245 which would usually format into two fields, by using quotation marks. “1,245” will enter as the value all in one field.
We currently do not process special symbols such as “á” or “É”. You will need to remove these symbols from contact entries to upload to the Sixley system.
