TRC Referral Program

Earn While You Help Others Achieve Their American Dream

Turn your network into income while changing lives. The Recruitment Compass Referral Partner Program rewards you for connecting qualified candidates with life-changing U.S. work opportunities through H2B, EB3, C1/D, and J-1 visa programs. Start by submitting process-ready candidates (must submit visa fee & completed DS-160 to qualify as a referral).

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE:

The Recruitment Compass has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for charging candidates fees outside of what is required by the U.S. Embassy/USCIS. It is ILLEGAL to charge candidates for job placements or visa assistance beyond official government fees. Any Referral Partner found violating this policy will be immediately terminated and reported to federal authorities for fraud. Our services are FREE to candidates. Referral Partners earn commissions from TRC, not from candidates.
