Workplace Application:
We share the referral incentives that work and the six research-backed recommendations that will help encourage your best to refer the brightest. 

Are you leveraging the strength of your employees' networks to source candidates? Employee referral programs are a top source of quality hires, but poorly designed programs, ineffective rewards and infrequent communication can tarnish your employment brand and the opportunity to obtain hires. Our research examined how employers are designing, implementing and measuring the success of their programs, and provides key considerations for any organization looking to update or build a referral program.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn what the prerequisites are for any referral program.
  • Understand how to measure the success of all your sourcing efforts, including referrals.
  • Explore best practices from case studies from leading organizations.
