What is the employee referral program at Genesis?
The employee referral program is a channel by which employees can refer qualified candidates for open positions. The employee referral program is intended to provide our organization with a pipeline of qualified candidates while rewarding our employees for sourcing top talent. Why are referral programs so important? Referral programs are one of the most cost effective channels to recruit new hires. In addition, we know that quality of hire tends to be better because there is a vested interest on both the person referring and the person being referred. Highly valued and talented employees want to work with like individuals. Both parties want to be successful in their endeavor and over time that leads to better retention rates for the organization.
