Employee Referral Recruiting Tool : ZALP

ZALP is a first of its kind SaaS based social recruitment software that combines the effective reach of social media with the valuable potential of employee referrals to source the best quality candidates for an organization.

What is ZALP

Despite the growing popularity of social media in recruitment, most recruiters are still not able to use it effectively to their advantage. This is because most social media integrated recruitment tools don’t have a single point focus. ZALP does.

ZALP has a single mind focus on improving an organizations referral output using its advanced social media capabilities.

Why was ZALP built ?

ZALP was built keeping in mind the two most important yet strikingly contrasting facts of recruitment: • Employee Referrals are the most valuable source of recruitment for every organization. • Employee Referrals are the most underutilized source of recruitment in every organization.

ZALP was built with a single minded focus of seamlessly bridging the gap between these two facts and transforming the recruitment process for organizations like never before.

Why was ZALP built ?

ZALP was conceptualized after 3 months of rigorous research

The research was conducted globally and the respondents included recruitment professionals as well as employees of various reputed organizations.

The research was well spread amongst organizations having very successful to very poor employee referral programs.

How was ZALP built ?

The most critical aspect for the success of any Employee Referral Program is most certainly ‘Employee Participation’.

The features of ZALP have been built keeping in mind the hindrances to employee participation.

What is the core of an ERP?

The core of ZALP and all of its features are based on the research results so as to address the pain points of an employee referral program from a recruiter as well as an employee Each of ZALP’s features aims at making the referral process for employees simple so as to maximize employee participation.

Lets have a look at each one of them :

ZALP gives employees not one but 6 easy and convenient ways to make quick referrals :

6 Easy ways to make referrals

Refer via Resume Upload Already have a friends resume at hand ? Simply upload it in the ZALP repository or tag it to a specific job opening. They will all be systematically saved on ZALP to ensure easy retrievals for the recruiter.

Recruiters are notified whenever new applications come in to ensure none goes unnoticed.

Employees are notified on a real time basis whenever applications are tagged by recruiters as useful or irrelevant.

Problem “ I send in resumes of friends but I doubt recruiters ever look at it�

Refer via Linkedin We understand that employees may not always have their connection’s resumes at hand. On simply using the Refer via Linkedin option, ZALP will show them all of their linkedin connections on the ZALP platform itself and they can make a referral with just a click of a mouse.

The unique job link along with a personalized message will be sent to the connection’s linkedin inbox

Problem : “ I don’t always have a connection’s resume ready”

Refer via Facebook Though a rare possibility, if the employee feels their connections may not be active on linkedin they may choose to simply make a referral via facebook .The unique job link will be instantly sent to their friend’s facebook inbox along with their personalized messages.

Problem : “ I don’t always have a connection’s resume ready”

Refer via Email Have your connection’s email id ready at hand ? Simply use the Refer via Email option and the unique job link will be sent to your connection via email.

Problem : “ I don’t always have a connection’s resume ready”

ZALP Smart Match Want that attractive referral bonus but don’t know whom to refer ?

ZALP’s SMART MATCH feature will give employees their most relevant matches for a particular job out of their own linkedin connections.

ZALP takes burden off employees of having to think of relevant connections for an open job

Problem : I usually don’t have top of mind connections to make referrals

ZALP SHARE Too busy to make a referral ? Cant think of whom who refer ? Don’t like the Smart Matches ? That’s Fine! The ZALP share feature enables employees to simply share the unique job links on their own social networking profiles.

All of their connections can view the open job and choose to apply to it themselves ! An application will always be tracked back to the employee who first shared it ! Referring has never been easier .

Problem : “Making referrals is the last thing on my mind’’

ZALP TRACK This real time track feature helps employees track the status of their referrals on a real time basis. Actions performed by recruiters on the referrals will automatically reflect on the employee account status bar.

Employees can now track the status on their referrals without depending on recruiters.

Problem : “ I have stopped making referrals because I am never updated on its status�

ZALP Tag & ZALP Repository

ZALP’s unique resume tagging and repository feature is a boon to recruiters as well as employees.

We understand that employees may send in referrals at any time and there may not always be an appropriate opening to accommodate them ZALP’s application repository feature empowers recruiters with the option of systematically preserving every referral that comes in.

What makes this interesting is the ‘TAG’ feature whereby recruiters may tag applications to specific skill sets , job profiles etc such that next time there is an opening that matches the applicants profile, ZALP will automatically pull up this referral from its repository and suggest the same to the recruiter.

Problem : “I want to refer a friend but there’s no current opening”

ZALP ANALYZE “You can improve what you can measure” – Going by this universally accepted fact ZALP ANALYZE empowers recruiters with detailed analytics on the entire employee referral program activity. Tracking the ROI of your recruitment process has never been simpler.

Problem : “ I am not able to track the ROI of our employee referral program”
