A Simple Employee Referral Program to Supercharge Hiring

Discover how an employee referral program can boost recruitment, foster workplace collaboration, and empower your team to play an active role in shaping your company’s success. If you have never used one, try the following program and see how your employees respond.

Employee Referral Program: At [Company Name], we value the power of employee referrals to build a strong and talented team. To reward employees who help us find exceptional candidates, we are pleased to offer an Employee Referral Program.

Eligibility: All active employees who have successfully completed 90 days are eligible to participate, except those involved in the hiring decision for the referred position and those whose jobs involve recruiting employees (e.g., HR or managers overseeing the role)

Referral Guidelines: Employees must refer candidates by submitting their contact information and resume through the company’s referral system, ATS system or to [designated HR contact]. Referrals must be made before the candidate applies or is contacted by the recruitment team, or listed on the applicant’s application.

Incentive: If the referred candidate is hired and completes 90 days of continuous employment, the referring employee will receive a referral bonus of [insert amount, for instance $500] paid in the next payroll cycle after the 90-day period is completed.

Conditions and Limitations: The referral bonus is subject to all applicable taxes. Referred candidates must meet the qualifications of the position and complete the standard hiring process. There is no limit to the number of referrals an employee can make, provided they meet the program requirements. Rehires and temporary or contract employees are not eligible as referred candidates. The company reserves the right to modify or discontinue the referral program at any time without prior notice.

We encourage all employees to take part in shaping our workforce by referring talented individuals who share our values and vision. If you have any questions, please contact [HR contact/department].
