The big debate going around in most organizations centers around whether an employee referral tool actually helps to improve effectiveness of the referral program. While there is no denying the fact that technology has changed the face of recruiting, with candidates uploading mobile videos about themselves by way of resumes, video conferencing and online tests, doubts still linger about whether an online referral program can actually yield better results than a manual employee referral program. Technology actually has an even bigger role to play in a referral program by making the whole process easier, faster and simpler for employees.


Since employees are the very basis of a referral program, an employee referral tool can make all the difference between getting employees to refer or not. Given below are the top 5 reasons why having an employee referral tool can give a big boost to your referral program.


Makes referring extremely easy

An employee referral tool allows employees to refer through a multitude of ways as per their convenience. They can choose the traditional route of uploading a candidate’s resume and tagging it to an open job or they can refer directly from social media platforms like LinkedIn or Facebook by simply tagging the candidate’s social profile to the open job.


Smart Matching of Candidates to Open Positions

A big problem faced by referral program is the fact that approximately 63% employees do not refer simply because they do not have top of mind connections at the time when a job is posted and 56 % employees never end up coming back to the job to make a referral. Most employee referral tools these days come equipped with smart match feature which allows employees to scan the most relevant candidates from among their connections for a particular job posting. It takes the guesswork out of hiring and saves precious time for employees


Job Sharing

An automated employee referral tool allows employees to share jobs by posting job links on their social media profiles so that all the job can be viewed by all their connections who can then choose to apply for it themselves or pass on the information to their connections on social media.


Engagement

Newer features like leaderboards help improve employee engagement by adding gamification to the referral program while also ensuring due recognition is given to employee contributions to the referral program.

Analytics

Perhaps the biggest advantage of an employee referral tool is the ability to generate comprehensive reports and data to track the performance of the referral program. This makes it easy for businesses to analyze return on investment on referral programs as well as work on further improving the referral program.
