What is Referral Recruitment?

We all know the situation: you're at a birthday party, and someone enthusiastically talks about the company they work for—the work atmosphere, what makes the company unique. And it sparks your curiosity. You get the feeling: "Hey, I’d like to work there too." That person has acted as an ambassador for their company.

That is referral recruitment. An internal hiring method where employees recruit people from their own social network. It is known as one of the most successful ways to attract new talent.

Referral Program

Trust your team, reward their efforts

With a referral program, you encourage employees to share job vacancies with their personal and professional connections. Their network is filled with people who have similar educational backgrounds or work experience. And because they come in through personal referrals, there’s a high chance they align with your company's culture and values.

Referral Tool ensures that your referral recruitment program is managed in one place—fully digitalized and automated. Simple and organized.

With referrals, you get…

...employees who become ambassadors.

Your employees tell your story—what you stand for, what the work atmosphere is like, and what it's like to work there. Authentic and credible.

...candidates who are a better match.

Candidates who join through referral recruitment are a better fit for your company. They have already gained insight into what it's like to work there through their connections, making them more likely to choose your company consciously.

...vacancies filled faster and at a lower cost.

People who come to your company through personal referrals move through the hiring process more quickly. They are a better fit for the company—without the need for expensive recruitment channels. This saves both time and money.

...a wider reach.

Your employees' personal social media networks have a far greater reach than the company page alone. Sharing job openings and posts on social media increases visibility and awareness. Your employer branding gets a boost—without requiring extra effort.

...easier recruitment for hard-to-fill positions.

This is because you reach more people when employees tap into their own social networks. Job boards mostly attract people actively looking for new opportunities—about 11%. But on social media platforms like LinkedIn, you reach the rest of the audience, and your perfect match could be among them.

...new talent who are happier, more productive, and more loyal.

Research shows that people hired through referral recruitment are generally happier, more productive, and more loyal. They feel more engaged with the company and are more satisfied in their roles.
