Referred candidates take less time to hire (29 days as opposed to 39 for candidates hired through job posts and 55 days for candidates hired through career sites).

Overall, referred candidates are also more productive and happier at work than their non-referred counterparts.But referrals dont just happen. You need to put an employee referra l program (ERP) in place and encourage your employees to participate which is a pretty major task in itself.Thats why so many employee referral software solutions have emerged over the years to help employers get their ERPs up and running smoothly.Today, were highlighting ten such employee referral platforms that we believe to be the cream of the crop1. JobviteWhen it comes to recruiting software in general, Jobvite is usually a good choice. If you need a platform to help you source, hire, onboard, etc., then Jobvite probably has the functionality youre looking for. One of the things Jobvite does especially well is employee referrals. In particular, we like the custom Facebook application that allows employees to send their connections private invitations to apply for open jobs.Sia Mohajer of Online Resume Builders was one of the many people who nominated Jobvite for our list. Heres what Mohajer had to say Jobvite allows employees to use their own social networks to make referrals. The biggest advantage of this is, as an employer, you dont need to spend time on job boards or searching through hundreds of generic resumes. Learn more.2.
