Earn & Win

Ballots & Contests

Participate, earn ballots, win prizes.

Ballots are CME's participation currency. Every meaningful action on the platform earns you ballots. Use them to enter contests and win prizes.

How It Works

Three simple steps to earning and using ballots.

1. Participate

Apply to jobs, boost applications, refer friends, attend events, and complete your profile.

2. Earn Ballots

Every qualifying action earns ballots automatically. Track your balance on your dashboard.

3. Enter Contests

Use your ballots to enter active contests. More ballots = more entries = better odds.
