Survey Results

Respondents Speaks
Motivation
“The only concern most
of the employees have is
regarding the feedback.
We don’t get the status
of the candidates after
referring. So, we feel
that the referrals are not
being considered
seriously.”
Transparency
“When we refer someone it
gives a message that CV is
already available in
database. No transparency
on that as we cannot see
what is the source for it.
Referred candidate says that
he / she has not applied,
then there should be a
reason how CV is available.”
Trust
“This Referral is like a
Black Box, The referred
resume goes to the Black
box and the referred
candidate gets a call
through the consultant
immediately. Somewhere
there is a link between the
consultants and the
referral portal.”
Clarity
“Provide correct
job description,
don’t generalize
the
requirements.”
Communication
“Please respond back
on the status or
update it on the site. A
two year old referred
candidate is also
displayed as “In
progress". That cannot
be right.”
Processing Time “I
referred a candidate &
he was interviewed for
6 months and for
different teams. Finally
referred candidate
rejected the
company.”

Respondents Recommends

communication of referred candidates
