An Employee Referral Program is a great way for you to find job candidates in a rough economy. You have to balance your efforts, but ERPs can be very effective if used wisely.<\/p>\n

As many marketers know, word-of-mouth marketing is crucial in pushing any product and the same can be said for recruiting job candidates. Candidates choose jobs based on the possibility of working with peers on exciting projects that they can be motivated about.<\/p>\n

A challenging economy requires intelligent budgeting and ERPs give you a chance to find ideal candidates without spending a fortune on head hunters and external recruiting solutions. You have to be balanced with online advertising and other intelligent avenues of recruiting, but an effective ERP needs to be huge.<\/p>\n

As a company working as one unit to find candidates will always find more candidates than a recruiting department, no matter how hard they work. Candidates want to hear from peers that they will be working along side unlike a biased recruiter.<\/p>\n

You have to be careful to make sure that your employees are being used wisely so they are not distracted from their work and that they don’t get frustrated. It can backfire and hurt you, them, and the candidates.<\/p>\n

One of the important steps is using some form of web 2.0 or interactive online marketing IM Chat or RSS feeds to get your candidates involved with your employees. If you put a face to it then people will feel more comfortable and get an idea of what their job would be like.<\/p>\n

A lot of companies use niche sites for individual employees or microsites to help motivate candidates to find out more. This allows for many websites (needing optimization of some kind) to be out there for people to view.<\/p>\n

I suggest that you use EnticeLabs and their product TalentSeekr because they are able to brand your job positions well and market well across the web. This can make a huge difference in leveraging your ERP campaign.<\/p>\n
