Employee Guide to Referrals

Partaking in employee referral campaigns is a great way to help your company grow.

If your company is using HireHive for referrals, you can be assured that all your referral work is fully tracked. When you share a link on social media and a friend applies for a job, the application can be fully traced back to you.

Here is a step by step guide on how to help your company hire using Employee Referrals with HireHive.

Step by Step Guide

Your company may have set up employee referrals for all employees of the company with a company email address. If this is the case, logging into your referrals account is really easy! Simply follow the link that has been sent to you from your Recruitment/HR team. The first time you log in, you'll need to activate your email address and set up a password. After that, you'll be taken straight to the dashboard whenever you log in. If your company has not set this up, you can be invited to the referrals dashboard by an admin (usually your Recruitment/HR team).

You referrals dashboard

Here, you'll find the full list of jobs that are open for referrals, along with information on the candidates you've previously submitted and stats on job views and applications.

For each job, you'll have the option to share it on social channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or email) or you can add a friend’s details manually - if you have their permission.

Sharing on social media and email:

This is really easy to do. You can choose to share the job link on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, or via email. When you share this link, a unique identifier will track all candidates who apply through it.

If you are using an Android device you can easily share the link via various platforms.

Adding candidate details manually:

If you have a friend’s permission, you can manually add their details and submit them to your company. You can either "drag and drop" their CV/resume or manually fill in the fields.
