Employee Referral Best Practices
Referred employees have higher retention
rates and increase employee engagement in

their company.
Generating a successful referral program
takes a lot more than a few campaign
mailers and promotion.
A good referral program starts with creating a work culture that has a positive
employer brand with optimum referral results
1. Prioritize Jobs
The best programs do not cover all jobs and instead
prioritize high-impact and hard-to-fill jobs.
Don’t waste employee time and burden your program’s
administration with “junk referrals” and referrals for jobs
that can be adequately filled through normal sources .
Referral programs that focus their resources on attracting
top talent, game-changers, and innovators produce the
highest ROI.
2. Link Social Media to your ERP
Social networks are free, practically everyone uses them

already, and a good means to showcase your brand.
Employees spend an ample amount of time building
relationships on these networks and it is very essential to
convert these into referrals.
A strong social media strategy is needed which will only
survive with sustained and proactive efforts.
3. Brand your referral program
A name gives your program exclusive identity and is a

“ ”

significant step in branding it. We would suggest taking this
to the next level by creating a logo.
Give the employee referral program a good catchy name
with a tagline and a logo
This instant recognition is an essential part of getting
employees into the “referral” mindset.
4. Make the referral process easy
An automated referral portal which will handle the entire
process from posting jobs for recruiters to making referrals
for employees can drastically help increase output.
Provide more touch points to your employees to inturn get
in touch with prospective candidates
If your employees are working hard to give solid referrals,
those referrals should be processed in a timely manner

since it speaks volumes to employees about how serious
you are about the program.
5. Have an efficient reward policy
Reward your ERP’s early participants and champions right
away. Try to focus on what would appeal to your employees

You’d be amazed how something as simple as movie tickets or a
$10 gift card can boost a referral program.
Don’t forget, many referrals are made because your employees
are anxious to help a friend get a job.
With these simple steps you are sure to see improved results in your referral
program. And if you need a tool that will help you seamlessly achieve all of this,
