Generate Employee Referrals from New Hires
The ideal time to request employee referrals is at the end of a new hire’s onboarding and training. By then, they understand the job well enough to know who might be a good fit, and their enthusiasm for the role is still high.
How you might currently be doing this
- Email announcements
- Posters or flyers
- Intranet announcements
- Referral forms
- Manager reminders
- Payroll inserts
- Company newsletters
- Social Media
Why Use Team Engine Instead
Consistency: Automated messages triggered by employee tenure ensure that every new hire is asked for referrals without you needing to remember.
Ease and Simplicity: New hires can easily submit referrals by entering a name and contact information through a link in the message.
Visibility: Unlike announcements via managers, email, or signage, which are often ignored or forgotten, text messages ensure that your referral request is seen.
How you can use Team Engine to do this
- Sync your employee directory with your HRIS or payroll platform, OR set up your employee directory.
- Navigate to the Automations tab.
- Click “+ Add automation” under the Employee Tenure section.
- Compose the message. (See sample text provided in the copy-and-paste box.)
- Customize recipients and other settings as needed. (See example below.)
- The employee receives the message, clicks the link, and enters their referral’s information.
- The referral automatically receives a message from Team Engine inviting them to apply.
- As referrals come in, Team Engine alerts you when employees submit referrals and when referrals apply.
- The Referrals Tab displays all employee referrals, their application status, and labels referred employees who have been hired in the employee directory.
