The best people in our sector usually come through someone who knows their work. If you know an ecologist, consultant or clean energy professional who's ready for their next move, put us in touch. If we place them, we'll thank you with £500.

Referral terms
- A £500 referral reward is payable when a candidate you refer is placed in a permanent role by Gaia Search and completes 4 weeks of continuous employment with the hiring organisation.
- The placement must start within 12 months of your referral. Contract and interim placements may qualify at Gaia Search's discretion.
- The person you refer must be new to us, meaning they are not already registered with Gaia Search or in active contact with us. Where the same person is referred more than once, the first referral received counts.
- One reward is paid per placed candidate. You can't refer yourself.
- To avoid any conflict of interest, no reward is payable to anyone involved in the hiring decision for the role the candidate is placed in, or to employees of the hiring organisation where its own policies prohibit them from accepting such payments.
- Rewards are paid by bank transfer within 30 days of the 4-week milestone, or donated in full to a registered UK charity of your choice. You are responsible for any tax due on a reward paid to you.
- Please only refer someone who has agreed to you passing their details to us. We will handle their data in line with our Privacy Policy.
- Gaia Search may change or end this scheme at any time. Referrals already received before any change will be honoured on the terms in place when they were made.
