Or... the company could just pay their employees a fair price for referrals. Management asking employees to go above and beyond to provide a referral, then short changing them on the value and strong arming them into not getting a better price from a recruiting agency, is a pretty terrible way to build a loyal workforce.
- neilv 8y agoThat's one way to look at it, and maybe the most effective, in the current industry environment. You could even add more metrics, like tying amount of referral fee employee closely to some quantified performance of the hire over a meaningful time period. Ideally, I'd prefer a very simple goal alignment, in which the employee doesn't get a referral fee, and instead is motivated by professionalism, wanting the organization to make good hires, of people they'd like to work with, and wanting those hires to further the success of the project/organization. (I realize this is not the situation in many organizations, but it's what I'd prefer, and throwing referral fees into it seems to head in the other direction.)
