A referral market for healthcare & legal talent

Knowing who is good should be worth something.

You already know which nurse everyone wants on their shift and which associate actually returns calls. DARWN turns that knowledge into a claim — free to make — and pays the people who made it when a hospital or firm acts on it.

Free to claim, always · No deposit, no purchase · Payouts only when a real event happens

How it works

Three steps, and the first one costs nothing.

DARWN is not a job board and it is not a bidding war. It is a way of recording who knows whom, so that when a hiring decision finally happens, the people whose knowledge made it possible are the ones who get paid.

  1. 01

    Claim a professional

    Pick someone you have actually worked with. Claiming is free and stays free — you are staking your professional judgement, not money.

  2. 02

    Wait for a real event

    Nothing pays out on speculation. A payout pool only opens when a facility or firm buys a report that includes them, or hires them through DARWN.

  3. 03

    Share the pool

    Everyone who claimed that person splits the pool in proportion to their weight. Claiming early, and being right, counts for more.

Two kinds of claim

Both directions of the truth are useful to a hiring manager.

Employers pay for signal either way. So both kinds of claim can open a pool.

Top performer

The person everyone wants to work with

You know a clinician or an associate who is genuinely excellent. A claim on them can pay twice: a share whenever a facility buys a recruiting report that features them, and a share of the placement fee if they are hired through DARWN.

  • Recurring: recruiting-report dividends
  • One-off: placement fee on a completed hire
High risk

The pattern a hiring manager needs to know about

Concerning history matters too. A high-risk claim contributes to a risk report, and claimers share the revenue when an employer buys one. Claims are attributable, reviewable and subject to dispute — this is a record, not an anonymous rumour board.

  • Paid when an employer purchases the risk report
  • Backed by identity and employment verification

Payout weight is relative, not a rate. Claiming earlier, holding verified employment history, and a track record of accurate claims all increase your share of a pool relative to other claimers on the same person.

For hospitals and firms

Hire from the people your own staff would vouch for.

The employer side of DARWN is a research desk: discover candidates, compare them against your current bench, build a pipeline, and buy the report that tells you what references will not.

Discover

Search verified professionals by role, market and the strength of the claims behind them.

Compare

Put a shortlist side by side against your own roster and against market benchmarks.

Report

Buy a recruiting or risk report on a specific person, sourced from people who worked with them.

Pipeline

Run the outreach, the messages and the placement through one system, with fees settled on hire.

Rankings & research

Ratings written by the people who actually work there.

Hospital and firm rankings on DARWN come from verified professionals inside them, not from a survey panel. The same verification that makes a claim payable is what makes a ranking worth reading.

What a claim is, and what it is not

  • A claim is free. There is no deposit, no purchase and no subscription required to make one.
  • A claim is not a security, a share in a person, an investment contract or a financial instrument, and DARWN is not a broker, dealer or investment adviser.
  • A claim pays only if a specific real-world event occurs. Most claims will never pay out, and no payout is promised, projected or guaranteed.
  • Figures used anywhere on DARWN to explain the mechanics are illustrative examples, not expected earnings.
  • Claims about a named professional are attributable to the person who made them, subject to identity and employment verification, and can be disputed and removed.

The best hire in the building is already known to someone.

Make the claim. If it turns into a hire, you are on the record for it.
