Employee Referrals help you activate your most powerful recruiting asset - your people. By turning employees into active talent scouts, you can expand your reach, attract top-quality candidates, and fill hard-to-recruit roles faster.
Below you'll find key terms commonly used when working with Employee Referrals.
ATS (Applicant Tracking System)
A software solution that streamlines your hiring process - from application to hire. It helps track candidates, manage workflows, and collaborate efficiently across recruiting teams.
Branding
Branding ensures your Employee Referrals experience looks and feels like your company. From logos and colors to tone of voice, it creates a consistent and familiar environment for employees, reinforcing trust and boosting engagement.
Content Sharing
Employees can share branded content (provided by Admins) to their social media networks with just a few clicks, earning points as they go.
Jobs
Jobs are the open positions that employees can refer candidates to or share through their networks. Every job posted is a new opportunity for someone in your organization to make a match.
Leaderboard
The Leaderboard shows who’s driving the most impact through referrals and sharing. It ranks employees (excluding those in incognito mode) based on points earned - a little friendly competition can go a long way.
Referrals
A referral happens when an employee recommends someone in their network for a job at your company. Referrals are often faster to hire, more qualified, and more likely to stay - making them one of the most effective sources of hire.
Rewards
Rewards are a core motivator in any referral program. They’re how you recognize and thank employees for supporting your hiring efforts and keeping them engaged.
Reward Shop
The Reward Shop offers a flexible system to manage incentives including monetary and non-monetary rewards like vouchers, donations, experiences, and more.
User Provisioning
User Provisioning is the process of setting up user accounts and access. This can be done manually or automated through integrations, making it easy to keep your user list up to date and ensure the right people have access to the right features.
User Roles
Admin: Admins manage platform setup, create/manage user accounts, and assign roles. They ensure everyone has the right level of access to use the tool effectively.
Recruiters: Recruiters are the bridge between referrals and hires. They post jobs and search for and connect with candidates.
Talent Scout: Talent Scouts are your employees. They refer candidates directly or share open jobs within their networks, helping to uncover talent you might not find otherwise.
