You know the drill. Companies use employee referral programs on a regular basis, either having them on at all times for spiking them up and down based on need. But where's the incentive? The draw? Kinetix, the RPO for growth companies, tackles these questions and offers up a fresh perspective on the employee referral program in their latest whitepaper, "Friends with Benefits: Building the Perfect Employee Referral Program."
"If you're like most companies with employee referral programs, you've got one flavor: vanilla. You offer that single flavor up time after time, when promoting your referral program. As a result of that approach, your referral program starts strong, and then dies a slow death over time", says Kris Dunn, author and Chief Human Resources Officer and Partner at Kinetix.
The article presents readers with a few key takeaways, including the stereotypical employees at your company that can make or break your program and the wisdom behind treating your referral program like a marketing offer.
Dunn also breaks down the referral program of a crafty Atlanta based marketing automation firm, and offers up key points on what makes their program stand out among the clutter.
"Friends with Benefits: Building the Perfect Employee Referral Program" is a recent release in a series of executive thought leadership articles prepared by Kinetix. Download "Friends with Benefits" and other articles in the series to explore solutions to recruiting and hiring challenges, including the benefits of using an RPO firm.
