A current employee’s recommendation of someone for a role, which the employer may reward with a bonus if that person is hired.
An employee referral connects a prospective recruit with an employer through someone who already works there. A formal referral programme explains how to submit the recommendation, which vacancies qualify and whether a successful hire earns a payment. The employee may be asked to discuss the opportunity with the candidate before making an introduction. Employers decide whom to hire separately from how a candidate enters the process. Eligibility for an incentive and the conditions for payment depend on the particular employer’s scheme.
