Brands keep the candid take. So do we.
One place for your work, your people, and your paid deals.
Candidhive feels like the social apps you already use, built around how UGC actually works.
For creators
- A page that works as your portfolio: videos, photos, rates, and the brands you've worked with.
- A feed and community of other creators. Follow, connect, comment, and message.
- Paid campaigns from brands that verified who they are.
- No big following needed. Brands hire UGC for the content, not the audience.
For brands
- Find creators by niche, language, and country, and see their real work before you reach out.
- Post a campaign and get applications from ID-verified creators.
- Message creators directly and keep every deal in one place.
- Sponsored posts are labeled as ads automatically, so disclosure is never forgotten.
Verified, not filtered.
Anyone 18 or older can join, post, and connect. When money is involved, we check that everyone is real.
- JoinSign up with your email and confirm you're 18 or older.
- Verify onceTo get paid or post a campaign, verify your ID and a quick selfie, like the badge on LinkedIn. Your ID goes to our verification partner, not into our database.
- Work with real peopleCreators see that a brand is real before they apply. Brands see that a creator is real before they hire.
Questions
When does Candidhive open?
We're opening in waves, starting with people at the top of the waitlist. You'll get an email when your spot opens.
How do I move up the line?
Share your link. Each person who joins with it moves you one day earlier in line.
Is it free?
Joining, building your page, and posting are free.
Why do I have to be 18 or older?
Candidhive is built for working creators and brands, and that means contracts and payments. Every account belongs to an adult.
Can I join from outside the US?
Yes. Anyone 18 or older can join the waitlist from anywhere. We'll share which countries can receive payments before launch.
Do I need a lot of followers?
No. UGC is about the content you make for brands, not the size of your audience.
