Recruiters Cite Referrals as Top Hiring Tool
Workforce Management
Article written by Gina Ruiz
Seventy five percent of respondents in a survey conducted by ERE Media said employee referral programs are effective or very effective tools in recruiting.
Currently, less than one-third of hires actually come from employee referrals, however fifty percent of the respondents say they will increase spending on referral programs to further tap into the benefits the programs offer as recruitment tools.
Another tool that received overall positive marks for recruitment was Job Boards. About 50% of the respondents found them to be effective tools for recruitment, while they found print advertising and job fairs less effective. The jury appears still out on social networking sites but most companies do not spend excessive amounts in this area.
