The number of daily possiblereferrals depends on the number of Croodits available to the Recruiter (Clause 12). The Applicant can apply for thelinked job posting via the Referral Link received from the Recruiter. For each successfully completed applicationprocess between an Applicant and the Employer, the Recruiter shall be entitled to a commission in accordance withClause 10.
