Track which employees refer candidates and reward top referrers
Employee referrals are often your highest-quality candidates. TalentScreen's referral tracking lets employees submit candidates, tracks their progress through your pipeline, and reports on referral conversion rates.
Referrals hire faster and stay longer. Tracking who refers helps you identify your best internal recruiters and justify referral bonuses. Visibility encourages more employees to participate.
Enable Referral Portal
Go to Settings > Referrals > Enable Portal. This creates a simple form employees use to submit referrals. Customize fields: name, email, relationship, role fit.
Share Portal Link with Employees
Distribute the referral URL via email or Slack. Make it easy to find: add to your intranet or HR portal. Remind employees about it in all-hands meetings.
Auto-Tag Referred Candidates
Candidates submitted via the referral portal automatically get tagged with the referring employee's name. This tag follows them through your pipeline.
Track Referral Performance
View leaderboard in Settings > Referrals > Analytics. See who referred the most candidates, who has the highest hire rate, and total referrals by department.
Automate Referral Rewards
Set up rules: 'Notify HR when a referred candidate is hired.' Or integrate with your HRIS to auto-trigger bonus payouts. Keep employees informed of their referral's status.
Gamify referrals with leaderboards or quarterly prizes for top referrers. Recognition (even non-monetary) drives more participation.
Send status updates to employees when their referrals advance or are hired. This closes the feedback loop and encourages future referrals. Silence after a referral submission kills employee motivation.
