Can the referral system be used in the recruitment?

In today’s competitive job market, finding the right talent can be a daunting task. Traditional recruitment methods such as job postings, career fairs, and headhunting can be not enough. However, there is a new way to recruit that is gaining popularity in our company – employee recommendation.

Employee recommendation is a recruitment strategy that involves asking current employees to refer qualified candidates he knows for open positions within the organization. This method has several advantages over traditional recruitment methods and is a very valuable add-on for other recruitment channels.

Firstly, employee recommendation is cost-effective. Unlike job postings and headhunting, employee recommendation does not require any advertising. Instead, employers can rely on their existing workforce to refer qualified candidates, saving time and money.

Secondly, employee recommendation can lead to higher-quality hires. Current employees are more likely to refer candidates who are a good fit for the organization’s culture and values. Since values are important to build TheWorkInGroup’s teamwork, we truly care and this results in a more engaged and productive workforce.

Lastly, employee recommendation can improve retention rates. When employees refer their friends, they are more likely to stay with the organization for the long term. This can reduce turnover rates and save the organization money on recruitment and training costs.

Employers should also ensure that the referral process is easy and straightforward and that’s what we do in The WorkinGroup. The referral system also have a material benefit for the referrer. Our company already hired a lot of people, who were recommended.

For a recruit who comes from a referral, such a process is much less stressful, because we have enough trust in our people that we usually let go of even the technical part if he or she referrer has said: “I worked with this person and he is a professional, hard working person”.

In conclusion, employee recommendation is a new and effective way to recruit talent for our organization. By leveraging our existing workforce we are improving the quality of hires and reducing turnover rates. With the right incentives and processes in place, employee recommendation can be a valuable addition to recruitment.

During our latest team-building meeting, we decided to experiment with VR technology. We all put on our magical glasses and, in an instant, we were transported to an extraordinary world full of limitless possibilities. We discovered the power of teamwork in real-life situations, like fighting zombies . With cleverness and collective intelligence, we managed to survive the relentless zombie horde and emerged victorious from this virtual battle. What will the next team integration bring?

At The Workin Group (TWG), working remotely is an essential tool, and brings a lot of success and a positive impact on those who work with us, first and foremost, remote work saves us time and we can fully focus on our work – rested, not tired from commuting. It gives us time to do something for ourselves after work, almost immediately after completing tasks – more space to relax or spend moments with family.

We work with experts, engaged in working with the latest technologies, and they often want to create their workspace on their own, so no one dictates what equipment they should work on. Some came to the office bringing their mouse or keyboard, at the home office the office is customized only for their own needs. You also don’t have to worry about fighting noise interfering with your work, as you would with open space.

Working remotely also makes it easier to travel and work. Asking our specialist, Gustaw, who decided to work with TWG after 8 years in the office, and he cited this as one of the important reasons. “I like to go out and explore new cities, finishing work at 4 pm and simply closing my laptop is much easier for me to do that.”

In addition to the increased comfort of life, it’s also worth noting how communication between co-workers improves – they handle specific shuffles efficiently and quickly, catching each other on the appropriate communicator for that. We support this communication and once a month, we meet online with the whole company to talk about what’s going on, and what news is ahead of us and answer any questions we have. For those willing, we also meet once in a while in Warsaw to spend time together on some entertainment.

At TWG, we care about getting your task done, whether with a break to walk the dog or visit the doctor is irrelevant. What matters is respect and mutual trust.
