Are there companies out there who pay their employees to recruit new employees to them?

For instance, this one guy I know has been trying to get me to become a financial advisor. He’s been trying to convince me hard telling me that he sees a lot of motivation in me and that I’m driven. Which is true because I’m always keeping my eyes and ears out to make extra money. It’s just the thing is I don’t really wanna do what he wants me to do. Mostly because he tells me that first clients for these guys are usually friends and family, which I don’t wanna bother them trying to sell any type of insurance to them. Nor am I crazy on going door to door asking people if they want to sign up for insurance policies. Usually if I tell people about an opening at my work, I just tell it like “apply for it, yes or no, whatever you want”, but this guy that I’m talking about really into signing me up and basically doing a little sucking up. Are there companies that employees all the time for recruiting people? Mines not one of them, I was giving an example. But if I was being paid to recruit someone I might be on it like the guy I’m talking about here.
