Employee Referrals – why are they sometimes not effective?

o A referral programme/ US program for

employees alone is not enough to find
good candidates!
o Employees are often unaware that
someone in their network of contacts
may be interested in changing their
jobs!
o However, their networks of contacts are
an ideal source of information about
our needs.
