Referral Programmes are being used in most organisations but they are often under-utilised and under-resourced and bear little… if no fruit.

At Pursuit NHA we provide Referral Programme schemes which enable clients to have referral hotlines for candidates and an on-going dialogue between referrer and candidate. We ensure that every quality candidate that comes through the client’s internal network is dealt with in a professional and efficient manner. 

As a result we have seen that from many of our client’s recruitment, 15%-20% of the candidates can come through the internal referral programme. 

The secret of success of the Referral Programme lies in building a relationship with the client’s current employees. They will feel confident to refer friends and colleagues to a business if they know that candidates will be dealt with speedily.  Even greater participation can be encouraged through the use of a cash incentive.

A secondary benefit has been that internal candidates feel they have a greater influence if they are helping with the recruitment of a business.  

With the support of Pursuit NHA, all candidates are dealt with fairly and independently and are assessed against the client’s criteria. Conflict is reduced and any ambiguity is removing from the process.
