When it comes to employee referrals programs, only 1 in 3 organizations are satisfied with theirs. For many, referrals have become a ‘check-the-box’ requirement that gets launched and then left alone. A few candidates trickle in here and there while recruiters focus their time and effort on other sourcing channels.
But, referrals done right can become the workhorse of a strong Talent Acquisition strategy. We’ve partnered with clients to redesign their program and drive adoption, and in a short time they’ve been able to reduce cost-per-hire drastically while accelerating their time-to-hire and even boosting retention thanks to higher candidate quality. Unfortunately, many programs fall prey to common and avoidable roadblocks that inhibit adoption and results.
In our latest eBook, Get More Value from Employee Referrals, we explore the four common roadblocks that stand in the way of referrals success – and offer simple steps for overcoming them to optimize referrals outcomes.
