Referral recruitment
Reach hidden talent
Studies show that referral recruitment [1] is the best source of quality staff. Therefore the focus of any recruitment strategy should include, next to creating a strong employer brand, using your own employees and its network to hire new talent into your organisation.
Referrals are the main source of excellent candidates:
- Low cost and fast payback
- Above average quality candidates
- Delivers fast results
- Reliable source
- Less staff turnover
- Strong communication and marketing (word-of-mouth)
... but traditional Employee Referral Programs have a limited scope and impact [2]. With recruit2 you have a dedicated referral recruitment platform that makes best use of the network of your own employees and their connections.
