The customer service is top notch and they have helped to ensure our program has been successful from the start. I can't recommend EmployeeReferrals.com more! Cons The team in currently in the process of updating the UI which I believe will elevate their product even more. Review Source KS Kyle S. Sr Recruiting Program Manager Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "EmployeeReferrals.com A Critical Tool For Our Organization" May 30, 2023 5.0 Been very happy with both the product and the people/customer service at EmployeeReferrals.com. Would highly recommend to those looking for an employee referral product. Pros We were looking for a product that would be easy and intuitive for our employees to use. EmployeeReferrals.com ended up fitting that need for us. The interface is highly customizable to ensure it carries the feel and value proposition of your organization. It also allows each employee to have their own dashboard to track their referrals, which helps alleviate the amount of questions you receive in your recruiting programs.On the recruiting side - it allows all recruiters to easily see and track referrals to their reqs. Because it houses all referrals over time, you can also mine through past referrals for current roles.Analytics are awesome! You can break down data from when you implement the product up to present day, and everything in between. You can also break down by division and department, which is extremely helpful to be able to take back to leaders in those departments to tell their employee referral stories. Cons At times feeds can break due to a change in ATS and/or on the EmployeeReferral.com side. There's not really an indication when this happens, so you end up finding out when things aren't working properly. HOWEVER, once contacting EmployeeReferrals.com these things are IMMEDIATELY corrected, so there is minimal downtime. Alternatives considered [Workday HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/66908/Workday-HCM/)[Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/) Reason for choosing EmployeeReferrals Felt that EmployeeReferrals.com was more customizable to our needs. Easy and intuitive for employees and recruiters to use over other products. Review Source DC Daniel C. Parts Advisor Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ok but has its flaws." April 23, 2021 1.0 Pros I liked that I could see across our corporation and see what openings are available. Also the referral bonus is nice and gives me a little more incentive to refer more people. Cons That I referred someone, they got the job and now that position says "No reward" when it clearly said $500 and then others say "duplicate" even though the job title and number are different. It would've been a great system had it actually worked but now I just have no motive to continue referring anyone else after this experience. Also the position that they were hired for says under recruiter review but then on another it says they were hired which they weren't. Needs some flaws worked out. Review Source NN Nicolle N. Sourcing and Projects Recuriter International Trade and Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool when looking to embrace automation" October 13, 2023 5.0 Great product, easy to use and the team is always ready to help you navigate the system. Pros The easy integration with social media, ATS and the admin side has multiple features you need to make your work easier to manage the program such as scheduled engagement emails, updated leaderboard, analytics and sourcing referral candidates features. Cons That it can't do all the referral program management :-) Alternatives considered [Jobvite](https://www.capterra.com/p/109268/Jobvite/) Reason for choosing EmployeeReferrals They have great value overall with more features and an easy interface to use for the referrers.

Recruiter Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product" December 17, 2019 5.0 Pros It is very easy to use and track referrals from employees. We love the referrals that we get as they are huge in helping us find and retain great talent. They do a great job training us on the system and best practices. The system does a great job keeping our employees engaged and aware of referral opportunities and then it updates them on their candidate's status so that we don't have to. I could never go back to the old school way we used to manage our employee referral program. Cons There really isn't much I don't like. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that employees sometimes forget their password and for some reason ask us about signing in. I think this is more a user error scenario and I am trying to push our organization to get an SSO provider to make it better. Review Source CS Charles S.

It has an easy-to-follow UI which makes it easy for users like myself to navigate. I love how it integrates with our platforms so it is cross-functional. Everything is up to date and accurate. Cons There aren't any glaring issues with EmployeeReferrals. I have yet to test the mobile app so I am curious to see how the app compares to the desktop version.
