Referrals from existing employees result in lower cost per hire, better morale, and better retention rates. Reach out to current employees and you will find that they want to help, they know people like themselves (birds of a feather flock together) and they sell the company for you.

I have enjoyed success as a recruiter for many years because of referrals.
Who do you know? Comes out of my mouth fifty times per day. The best candidates are often under your nose. For companies the best candidates come from people that your employees refer.

There are fantastic automated referral systems today that can take the workload away from you. These systems post jobs through the internal social network and they allow people to easily forward on referrals. You can track who refers and have a wonderful referral bonus that will cat you much less per hire. These systems are easy to administer and work very well. The best part is that the candidates come sold on your business and they come with a sense of responsibility owed to their referrer.

So if you do not already have a referral system, I hope I have convinced you to get one. If you need advice on preferred tools contact our fresh consulting team today.
