“I would definitely refer another person if I knew of someone who was a great fit for an opening,” points out Behrens. “The bonus is nice but isn’t the first priority. I would always make sure my referral was going to work well. My reputation is on the line with each referral.”
It’s not all about the money, but the bonus and prizes are a tickler for employees who have many other priorities and distractions. Darling’s philosophy about her referral criteria mirrors that of others who are in this family tree: “I will only refer people who would be a good fit, whom I trust and respect. I have a lot of job satisfaction, and I want others to experience what I have.”
The bonds and camaraderie developed through the success of this program are difficult to calculate, but the reduction in employee turnover and the number of days it takes to fill key positions can quickly show up on the bottom line of an organization.
An ERP is a cost-effective way to get everyone casting their net for good candidates. Good people tend to know and refer good people. Why start from scratch when there’s a network in place?
