Who can participate

Age: both the referrer and the person being introduced must be 18 or older.
Permission: confirm that the person wants an introduction to Zylarity before sharing their contact details. They then choose whether to accept the private link. This is separate from confirming their age. Providing a name for Zylarity to cold-contact is not a qualifying introduction.
No self-referrals. Introductions prohibited by an employer’s policy or by law are ineligible, as are Zylarity staff and hiring decision-makers involved in the placement.

What makes an introduction eligible

One benefit is available per qualifying new hiring contact, including at a company already known to Zylarity. Zylarity reviews contact identity, source history and competing introductions before confirming eligibility.
The hiring contact must accept the introduction and fill a position through Zylarity within 12 months of acceptance. The placement must complete the employer’s agreed guarantee period (at least 90 days), the placement fee must be paid in full, and a recruiter must approve the benefit. Registration, an agreement or an unpaid invoice does not earn a benefit.

What the credit covers

After recruiter approval, receive reimbursement of up to $500 USD for a Cybersecurity, technology or professional-development course, certification, exam or conference. Zylarity decides eligibility and the approved amount in writing before purchase. Devices, hardware and general purchases are not covered.
Obtain written expense approval from Zylarity before buying. Submit a paid receipt within 90 days of that approval. Any required tax information must be supplied before reimbursement. Earlier referrals retain the receipt deadline in their recorded terms.
The credit is not an unrestricted cash award and cannot be transferred. It does not guarantee a job or payment.

Privacy and invitation links

An invitation expires after 90 days. The hiring contact verifies their own email and chooses whether to accept. Referrers see only high-level introduction and benefit status. Hiring discussions, contracts and fees stay private. The introduction does not authorize marketing, a client agreement or account access.
Unaccepted contact details are removed after expiry. Accepted referral and reward records are retained for up to seven years after the last decision, or longer when subject to a legal hold. Multiple claims require review; no referrer is automatically selected.
