Speed up your time-to-hire

Referred candidates come pre-screened by people who know your company inside and out. Less time scrolling through CVs, more time having conversations with people who actually want to work there.

Culture match, not just skills match

Your employees won't recommend someone who'd make their life harder. Referred candidates tend to stick around longer and fit with your team because they're vouched for by people who understand what makes your workplace tick.

Cut costs, not quality

Employee referrals are one of your most cost-effective recruitment channels. While you're investing in multiple sourcing strategies, referrals consistently deliver highly engaged candidates who are genuinely excited about the opportunity. At a fraction of the cost per hire.

Higher response rates, stronger interest

Referred candidates respond faster, engage more, and show up prepared. Because they've already heard good things about you.

Turn hiring into a team sport

Referral programmes with proper rewards and recognition don't just help you hire. They keep your existing team engaged while sourcing talent they want to work with.

Build a stronger company from within

Employees who help choose their teammates create stronger bonds and better team dynamics. When people have a say in who joins, they're more invested in making new hires successful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about employee referrals and Tellent Recruitee

Yes. Tellent Recruitee’s ReferralsHub is designed with engagement in mind. You can set up custom reward structures (cash bonuses, extra leave, vouchers, public recognition), and give employees real-time visibility into their referral outcomes. If your current portal isn’t driving participation, these features are built to fix exactly that.

Each referred candidate is tagged "referred" in their profile, with the referring employee's name noted directly on the profile. Recruiters can see the referral source, the employee's answers to referral questions, and the candidate's full profile—all in one place. When a referred candidate reaches the “hired” stage, a reward claim automatically appears under Settings > ReferralsHub > Claims for approval or rejection.

Yes. You define the reward structure in ReferralsHub settings—monetary bonuses, time off, gift cards, or simply public recognition. When a hire is confirmed, Tellent Recruitee triggers a reward claim notification. Users with the corresponding permissions manage approvals inside the platform, keeping the whole process transparent and auditable.

Referred candidates are entered into the system without having given consent, so their GDPR status will show "no consent" by default. To handle this compliantly, the recommended approach is to set up an automated email in the "referred" pipeline stage. This email can inform the candidate that they've been referred and include key links, such as the consent request, so they can opt in before moving forward. All other candidate data remains subject to the same retention policies and right-to-erasure tools that apply to any applicant in your system.

Yes. Employees can browse all vacancies where referrals are enabled and submit a candidate for any of them. They can also submit the same person for multiple roles if that makes sense. ReferralsHub tracks each submission independently, so rewards and outcomes are calculated per role.
