Why Employee Referrals?
Introduction An employee referral scheme encourages a company's existing employees to select and recruit the suitable candidates from their social networks. As a reward, the employer typically pays the referring employee a referral bonus . Thoughtfully implemented employee referral plans are excellent ways to attract the best people at the lowest cost.
What motivates referrals? Based on a survey conducted by Referral Networks, employees refer because: 1. 42 % of respondents wanted to help a friend find a good job 2. 24% of respondents wanted to help the company 3. 24% of respondents were motivated by a reward
Why Employee Referrals? 1.Improved candidate quality, ‘fit’, and retention 2.Reduction in Recruitment Expenditure 3.An opportunity to strengthen the bond with existing employees
1.Improved candidate quality, ‘fit’, and retention The relationship between the referring employee and the candidate allows the candidate 1. to understand the culture of the firm 2. to assess his/her own likelihood of success at that firm 3. to be better prepared to face interviews and other steps in selection Also there is a matching of expectations between employer and candidate, resulting in increased level of staff retention
2.Reduction in Recruitment Expenditure Even if incentives and rewards need to be paid to the referring employees , there are cost savings for the firm Ex : Referral programs cost $800 for employees, versus $3,884 and $1726 for print advertising, and even more for agencies and executive recruiting firms, according to the 2012 Employment Management Association's cost-per-hire survey The company’s human resources headcount can be streamlined and be used more efficiently
