REFERRAL RECRUITMENT TOOL
Better candidates at lower cost
With referral recruitment (also known as employee referral), you harness the power of your employees’ networks to find new talent. Employee advocacy is proven to be the most effective source for attracting quality candidates. People hired through this organic method tend to be more satisfied and stay longer with your organisation than those recruited through paid channels. Even hard-to-reach groups like Generation Z are more easily engaged through referral recruitment.
With the HROffice Referral Tool, you gain more control over your referral recruitment strategy.
Referral recruitment in a changing job market
Research shows that referral recruitment is not only cost-effective, but also brings in candidates with a better cultural fit. According to a study by SHRM, referral hires onboard faster, stay longer, and perform better than other new employees. That’s why many organisations are putting referral campaigns high on their recruitment agenda.
Administrative hassle
Managing referrals manually can be cumbersome. That’s why our Referral Tool is the perfect support for your campaign. Employees can track their referrals through our app, while HR gets a full real-time overview via the dashboard. Every step in the application process is automatically updated in both the app and your ATS, making things easier and saving you time on admin.
Turn your employees into ambassadors
Research shows that two out of three organisations use referral recruitment as part of their hiring strategy. And for good reason, referral hiring offers several advantages over traditional recruitment methods:
Your employees act as a first filter, giving you as a recruiter a quicker and clearer sense of the candidate’s quality. Often, the candidate is already familiar with the company culture, which boosts motivation and enthusiasm.
Candidates increasingly rely on what people in their network say about a company and the same goes for referral recruitment. When an employee tells someone in their network that you’re a great employer, it carries much more weight. It strengthens your employer brand in an authentic and credible way.
Referral recruitment tends to be more cost-effective, as there’s no need to invest in expensive recruitment campaigns. While employees are often rewarded with a referral bonus, employers who adopt referral recruitment generally see a significant drop in overall hiring costs.
On average, 45% of referrals stay longer than 4 years, while only 25% of candidates from job boards remain for more than 2 years. LinkedIn research also shows that 46% of employees hired through a referral are still with the company after one year, compared to just 33% of those hired via online job boards.
Benefits of the HROffice Referral Tool
The strength of the HROffice Referral Tool lies mainly in its seamless integration with both your careers website and Applicant Tracking System (ATS). This eliminates the need for separate referral administration.
Some key benefits of HROffice’s referral software include:
- User-friendly dashboard: Employees get access to a personal app that allows them to share vacancies from the careers website and track the progress of their referrals.
- Seamless integration with the ATS: All applications submitted via the Referral Tool are processed in real-time within the ATS, allowing candidates to move swiftly through each stage of the application process. Naturally, all candidate data is stored in full compliance with GDPR regulations.
- Gamification elements: Employees can earn points for each step their referrals complete in the application process, which they can redeem for cash, travel, or other rewards. They can also compete with each other to become the top referrer.
- Real-time overview: The organisation has access to a central real-time dashboard to monitor the progress of all referrals and reward employee performance.
