1.High Quality Candidates
The most immediate benefit of
employing a referral program is that
organizations get access to a pipeline
of high quality candidates resulting in
better quality of hiring and in turn a
more productive workforce.

Higher interview to hiring ratio
A higher interview to hiring ratio is
possible as employees act as partners in
the process.
Since they are in the best position to sell
the job and company to the candidate
and satisfactorily answer candidate
queries, the conversion ratio is much
higher.

Lower Cost per Hire
A very big benefit that directly impacts
the bottom line of organizations is that
the cost of hiring through referral is
significantly lower compared to other
traditional sources of hiring like external
agencies and job advertisements.

Culture Fit
Since referred candidates are mentored by
the referring employees, they are able to
assimilate into the culture of the
organization faster and better.
This leads to more productive employees
who stay engaged with the organization
much longer bringing down employee
turnover and by extension reducing the
burden on the recruiting team.

Global Reach
A big advantage of a referral program
is that it can be administered at a
global level enabling organizations to
maintain a global database of high
quality talent.
Incorporate social media in your
employee referral program to maximize
your reach.

A well run employee referral program
increases the efficiency of the HR and
recruiting team.
Since employees are made partners in the
process of hiring, the burden of sourcing
and hiring gets shared among many
leading to higher and faster closure rate.
