Employee referrals are the best source of hire, but just because you build an employee referral program, doesn’t mean they will come.

Recruiting in 2023
As we move into a new year, it should be apparent that it has never been more critical to invest in your recruiting and retention processes with the right solutions.

How to Reach Qualified Applicants in Time
Job-seekers are applying to many jobs at once. In some cases that could be because they want to shop around and find a perfect match, and in other cases it may be because they can’t afford to miss a paycheck and need a new job right away. In either instance, the first employer to respond will have the attention of the applicant, and a leg up on the competition. After that, make it your number one priority to get them through the hiring process as quickly as possible, and with the least amount of friction...
