To be a recruiter, you must be based in the US and have a US bank account. You may not currently be employed by a Jewish organization full-time. If you meet these requirements, you can sign up to be a recruiter! It does not matter whether or not you’ve been on a Birthright Israel trip yourself. If you have friends or family you’d like to refer, register to become a recruiter now and send them your referral link!

After you complete the recruiter registration form, our team will review your application. Once our team approves you, you will receive a welcome email with additional information about the recruiters program. The recruiters program officially begins on August 25th, 2026. We will notify you by email and text.

Each week, on Tuesdays at 3pm EST, you’ll receive an automated email with an updated list of the applicants you’ve recruited. You’ll also be able to see what stage of the application process they are in, as well as their contact information, so you can keep in touch with them and help them progress through their application.

You can see the breakdown of the earnings and bonus structure in the registration form and in your welcome email. Just remember, you must recruit at least 5 participants to qualify for payment, and you will be paid retroactively for the first 4 referrals as long as you meet the minimum requirement.

For recruiters in the Winter 25/26 Summer & 26 season, you will receive payment in August 2026. For recruiters in the Winter 26/27 season & Summer 27 season, you will receive payment in August 2027.
