Our Inspiration

At KindReff, we are inspired by the belief that helping others is key to creating a better world.

My name is Javier Contreras and this project was born out of my own childhood experiences. Growing up, I remember waking up at night to the sound of my mother crying, as we slept on the stairs of the building we lived in. It wasn’t until much later that I realised my family had been homeless at that time. However, we were fortunate enough to receive help from a charity that supports families at risk of homelessness, who helped us find a place to live.

Despite the difficult times we went through, my mother worked hard to provide my brother and me with a good education and a better future. Now, as an adult, I am grateful for the privilege I have and want to use it to help others.

KindReff aims to promote sustainable recruitment through employee referrals and also donating resources to noble causes. We believe that the recruitment industry would benefit greatly from more sharing and transparency. In creating this employee referral platform, we aim to foster a culture of kindness and collaboration within organisations, where employees feel empowered to refer suitable candidates for roles. This not only benefits the organisation but also promotes a sense of community and shared responsibility.

By referring suitable candidates for roles through our platform, we can make a positive impact on the environment, our communities, and more. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance, including the environment. Our platform allows organisations to engage with top talent, with confidence that each successful hire benefits a worthy charitable cause, thus creating a cycle of kindness.

The idea for KindReff has its roots in kindness, and we believe it is time to give back and start a cycle of kindness for others. It all started with my childhood memories, and now I am proud to be able to make a difference in the lives of others, just as kind people helped my family in the past.
