Employee referral is one of the most powerful ways to recommend someone to a job.

You are aware of your company culture, and you want to recommend someone who is one the same wavelength.

At the same time, someone you can connect with over lunch : )

Step 1: Make sure you’ve been invited as a co-worker to your company

Step 2:  View your company newsfeed to see people who fit jobs in your company

The cool thing about this news feed is that it not only shows people who have an intention to look for a job, it also shows people your friends recommend. So you kill 2 birds with one stone. A good quality talent and talent who is looking for new opportunities.

Step 3: When you click recommend, the talent gets an email to see if they are interested in the job.

If they are interested, their resume goes straight to the hiring manager.

These scenario solves 3 big pain points employees have when recommending someone to their company.

1. Are any of my friends, or their friends, looking for work that fits the job description?

2. Are they good talent to refer?

3. How easy is it to refer to them?
