1. Hiring through Employee Referrals
1

What are Employee Referrals ?

Employee referral is a cost-effective way of finding the right, more reliable talent through your employees’ network. Recruiters share open vacancies to their employees who in turn refer their contacts for these positions.


 

Why are Employee Referrals one of the best ways to hire !

Employee Referrals are one of the best ways to recruit candidates –

1. Cost ROI
Average Cost of hiring through Employee Referrals could range anywhere between 40 % – 60% cheaper than other channels of hiring

 

2. Quicker than other recruitment channels
Closure time is the essence of recruitment in current era. There is a marked average reduction in time by 20% – 30% when hiring through Referrals

 

3. Quality Hires
Although a tough parameter to measure, Quality hiring is an attribute more likely to be associated with Employee Referrals as compared to normal hiring. This can be especially true in case referring employees are themselves great employees.

 

4. Cultural Fit and Adaptability
Research suggests that hires through Employee Referral are found to have longer stay in organizations.

 

5. Higher Retention of employees
Referrals are a better fit in your organization because of two primary reasons – one they are pre-vetted and approved by your referring employees; Two, they are better in their understanding of the company culture and “How-things-work-here” as compared to a direct hire. Both these reasons provide faster orientation and better adaptability for the incoming hire

Department Wise Referrals

HR admin will now have the ability to create Departments in Naukri Referral Tool. These Departments can mimic the organizational division of work force and help the HR to categorize Referral jobs by the departments they belong to. Employees can also be assigned a department.

When the department settings will be ON –

  • the employee would be able to see separate tabs of each Department. Under these tabs the employees will see the jobs belonging to that particular department.
  • Employees can choose to follow departments indicating their interest in knowing about the jobs posted in these departments.
  • The system will use this information while sending the new jobs mailer to the employees.
  • Thus each employee will receive a custom made email for them with jobs belonging to the departments they follow.

Introduction to Naukri Referral Tool

What are Employee Referrals ?

Employee referral is a cost-effective way of finding the right, more reliable talent through your employees’ network. Recruiters share open vacancies to their employees who in turn refer their contacts for these positions.


 

Why are Employee Referrals one of the best ways to hire !

Employee Referrals are one of the best ways to recruit candidates –

1. Cost ROI
Average Cost of hiring through Employee Referrals could range anywhere between 40 % – 60% cheaper than other channels of hiring

 

2. Quicker than other recruitment channels
Closure time is the essence of recruitment in current era. There is a marked average reduction in time by 20% – 30% when hiring through Referrals

 

3. Quality Hires
Although a tough parameter to measure, Quality hiring is an attribute more likely to be associated with Employee Referrals as compared to normal hiring. This can be especially true in case referring employees are themselves great employees.

 

4. Cultural Fit and Adaptability
Research suggests that hires through Employee Referral are found to have longer stay in organizations.

 

5. Higher Retention of employees
Referrals are a better fit in your organization because of two primary reasons – one they are pre-vetted and approved by your referring employees; Two, they are better in their understanding of the company culture and “How-things-work-here” as compared to a direct hire. Both these reasons provide faster orientation and better adaptability for the incoming hire

How Naukri Referral Works ?

Invite referrals using a free Private Job
1

What is a Private Job?


Private Job Posting

A private job is a job page which will NOT appear in Naukri jobsearch and Naukri alerts to jobseekers

It will also not appear in company microsites, (if any)

Since Naukri does not promote this job in jobsearch and alerts, this job remains Private.

 

How to use Private Job Posting

Recruiters can use Private job posting for sending referral email to employees.

Private job can also be shared on Social media through Broadcast option

Private jobs can also be sent to selected jobseeker pool through ‘Send a Job as Email (SAJE)’ option in Resdex.

 

Does Private Job Posting require Job Posting subscription or Credits ?

A private job does not require Naukri Job Posting subscription.

This means Companies can post a private job without using their job posting credits.

 

How is it different from Naukri Paid job posting ?

Naukri job posting goes live on Naukri – this means jobseekers can search for it
or receive alerts from Naukri,
hence, it consumes job posting credits.

Private job on other hand, is not promoted by Naukri and hence does not consume credits.

Introducing option to pay referral incentive in stages/tranches in the Referral Enterprise variant.

Payout policy is defined by specifying the duration after the candidate joins when the employee who referred the candidate is eligible to receive referral amount.
With payment in stages the HR would get the flexibility to define payments to be made in more than one stages e.g. paying some amount after one month of joining and remaining referral amount after 2 months of joining.

These amount at each of the stages can be a percentage of the referral amount or can be a fixed amount/benefit. In addition, the amount can be given not only after the candidate joins but even when the candidate is shortlisted, offered a job etc.

Sending referral emails – Group Email Ids

Why you should not use a group email-id for sending referral emails !

The most common reason your referral emails are not getting delivered is because they may have been blocked by your IT team. It is possible that these emails have run into problem with your ‘Internal Firewalls’.

I. What is a group email-id ?

A group email-id is a mail alias or email group for sending emails to multiple or all employees at one go. For example all@YourCompany.com

II. Why sending referral email to a group email-id is Not a good idea ?

Lost tracking

1. We treat group email-id as one and do not have information on which employees are part of this group.
2. We do not fetch this information from your outlook to maintain security of your company data.
3. This means even when an employee refers a friend, your referral tracker will still display the group email-id as the referrer. This disrupts your tracking.

Notifications sent to the group email-id

1. A notification mail is sent to employees every week informing them about any referrals through their network.
2. This notification mail gets sent to the group email-id in case referral email was sent to it originally.

Incorrect Reports

1. Referral tool provides you reporting on which employees are eligible for referral money every month.
2. In case you use group email-id for referral emails, this reporting will not be available for calculating referral payout.

III. What is the alternative of using a group Email-id ?

For outlook 2010/2013 users

1. In case you have outlook 2010/2013, this task becomes pretty simple.
2. All you need to do is click on the group email-id to expand into the employee names.
3. You can then copy paste this directly into referral tool. It will extract only the employee email-ids for sending referrals.

For outlook 2003/ 2007 users

1. You would need to import contacts from your outlook. Step by Step instructions here
2. If you have employee email-ids in excel format, you can upload them easily to the referral tool. Read about it here
