Zao offers a social recruitment platform that guides employers through posting jobs, setting cash rewards, and leveraging employees' and ex-employees' networks to source candidates. The service provides step-by-step tools and gamification to motivate employees and trusted partners to share openings and split rewards across referral chains. Employers sign up, upload a job, set a cash reward and send it to staff and broader networks; the company says the process takes about 10 minutes. The majority of the service is free, while Zao adds a 30% markup to any reward in return for automating the process. The company was founded by Ziv Eliraz in September last year and positions itself against broader online recruiting services and social-recruiting peers such as BranchOut and Jobvite.
