I would assume that the $1000 are covered by the hiring company paying them a higher sum for the referral of the applicant.

If the $1000 are coming from a larger sum being paid to them by the hiring company, I see no scam possibility (but maybe I'm just not creative enough).

Yes, we are charging 5k for a job placement, and then kicking back 1k to the person getting hired and $500 to a referral.

There's a few vectors for potential scamming but it's going to be closely monitored anyhow. If we can't do this manually because of huge growth it'll be a great problem to have.

This is a great idea and I will definitely be downloading this app. The only issue you might encounter could be, like Tinder - there are too many dudes trying to get laid (people trying to get jobs due to the 1K bonus and $500 referral, and because it is easy) and not enough girls reciprocating (companies looking to hire due to the 5K finders fee).
