They explain the practical aspects and latest trends in referral hiring, the pitfalls of operating such programmes, and 7 key elements. Part 1 is scheduled for 20 October and Part 2 for 27 October.
ウィルオブ・パートナー provides Refcome, a cloud service supporting referral hiring, and its representative and head of the Customer Success Division appeared on a PIVOT programme. The programme focuses on the latest trends in referral hiring and introduces the reasons why referrals do not increase after a programme is introduced, as well as operational measures for achieving sustained results.
Part 1 presents practical initiatives, including the impact of referral bonuses, informal interviews, the use of pizza gatherings, and communicating the company’s appeal, from both the perspective of a company with a track record of providing support and that of an experienced practitioner. Part 2 also addresses considerations for prospective job changers, including the value of referral hiring in the age of AI, points referrers should bear in mind, and the use of talent pools.
The programme features management members who have been involved in supporting referral hiring at more than 1,000 companies. They explain that while referral hiring is attracting attention as a means of improving employee retention and building workforce capability, operational measures are needed to prevent the programme from becoming a mere formality.
