6 TIPS TO HELP YOU CREATE AN
EMPLOYEE REFERRAL
PROGRAM SIMPLIFIED Is your referral program really easy to participate in? Keep it simple. Sharing jobs needs to be dead simple. Avoid complex rules or a lengthy registration process.
SOCIAL Employees have never been more connected. Enabling your employees to broadcast jobs to social and professional networks easily creates a low-cost way to reach potential job seekers quickly and affordably.
COLLABORATIVE Allow employees to easily vouch for applicants. Creating a feedback loop reduces risks and encourages valuable collaboration. It also builds trust and confidence in the program by giving users control.
MOBILE Mobile matters more now than ever before. Your employee referral program must be accessible to employees wherever they spend their time.
GAMIFIED People enjoy measuring progress and results. Adding an element of gamification like a leaderboard to your employee referral program will encourage on-going participation.
INTEGRATED To be truly useful and to have any chance of widespread user adoption, an employee referral program must be fully integrated with your applicant tracking system. Avoid information silos that create problems for reporting and capturing feedback.
