The other day a person asked why I always say referrals are better than submitting online applications. Referrals are your ticket to a new job! The biggest reason – Employers love them! Why do employers love job referrals? How about I give you eight reasons!
Eight Reasons Referrals Rock
According to Kristina Martic, there are eight really big reasons why you should get a referral when applying to a company of interest. Employee referrals:
- have the highest ROI
- reduce time to hire
- reduce cost per hire
- improve the quality of hire
- reduce the turnover rate
- generate more profit
- improve offer acceptance rate
- bonus costs
Rather than reinventing the wheel, check out Kristina’s article on TalentLytf where she shares some pretty cool graphics and presents some valid statics you’ll want to see.
