From awesome tech tools and cool companies to great books and powerful trends, no stone in the recruiting space will be left unturned.This WeekTop 10 Employee Referral Software SolutionsReferrals are the best way to hire, hands down. 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). They tend get up to speed more quickly than outside hires do, and theyre 13 percent more likely to stick around for the long term. 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 referral program (ERP) i n 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 adva ntage 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. RolePointThe coolest thing about RolePoint is the platforms automatic role-matching feature, which aligns employees contacts with the roles theyre most suited for, thereby increasing the chances that any given referral will be a good match.RolePoint also has some seriously powerful predictive analytics capabilities that allow users to review and adjust their recruitment processes continuously which is absolutely necessary if you want to keep your ERP running effectively at all times.Learn more.3. ZaoZao expands your referral network and makes rewards administration a breeze at the same time. Rather than limiting participation to existing employees, Zao lets vendors, company alumni, and pretty much anyone else who comes across a job post distributed by your employees to get in on the fun.

ZalpZalp calls itself The Employee Referral Booster, which seems like an accurate title based on the customer testimonials and the companys claim that it can triple your number of referral hires.If youre the type to take a companys claims about itself with a grain of salt a reasonable thing to do then maybe this will carry some weight Zalp allows employers to implement micro reward strategies in which employees can be rewarded for every action they take to promote your jobs and bring in referrals.

ReffindSo many app developers describe their products as Tinder for X these days that its become a bit of a joke. To its credit, Reffind doesnt actually call itself Tinder for employee referrals, but if it did, it would be justified in doing so.Basically, it works like this Employees open the app, and they see a series of open jobs at the organization. They swipe left on the ones they cant help you fill and right on the ones they can help you fill. When they swipe right, theyre taken to a screen where they can share the job with the relevant contacts.Reffind is simple, intuitive, q uick, and pretty damn nice to look at, too.Learn more.9.
