Referral project management in 6 months
For years, we have been helping organizations recruit new employees through ambassadors with well-designed referral programmes. This could involve creating a new programme or improving an existing one. A referral specialist will manage the entire project for a minimum of six months, following an 8-step approach. After that, you can choose to take full or partial control of the programme yourself.
1. RECRUITMENT QUICKSCAN
The referral specialist analyzes recruitment challenges, internal policies, the employer brand, and evaluates the current job market.
3. REFERRAL SURVEY
The referral specialist will explore employees' reward preferences, social media habits, and content interests, whilst also mapping out referral personas in the process.
5. REFERRAL EXPERIENCE
The referral specialist will design a VIP application process tailored to referral candidates, employees, and hiring managers.
7. REFERRAL CAMPAIGN
The referral campaign specialist develops a campaign plan, launch program, event, employer branding communication, content calendar, and referral actions.
2. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The referral specialist conducts inspiration sessions to engage and excite stakeholders, followed by a tailored recommendation and business case.
4. REWARD & RULES
The referral specialist will work closely with the organization to establish the rewards, guidelines, and terms of the referral programme.
6. REFERRAL SOFTWARE
Selection of referral software to optimally support the referral programme and provide an engaging user experience, including implementation and ATS integration.
8. REFERRAL RECRUITMENT SUPPORT
The referral recruiter will manage all referral application communications, ensuring seamless coordination with candidates, employees, managers, and the executive team.
