The device of the invention may be website having modules for registration, referrals, databases of resumes, employment opportunities and webs of referrals, as well as a payment module. The method of the invention may be registering a job seeker, registering referred parties of that job seeker and other parties who are indirect referrals via the directly referred parties, and paying finder's fees as appropriate to parties above hired parties.
