Hireology Referrals FAQ

Last year, Hireology acquired the premier employee referral software, EmployUs. Since then, we’ve made some serious changes to the platform while integrating it into our existing software — all in the spirit of helping businesses like yours drive real ROI from employee referral programs.

Hireology Referrals has all of the features you’ve come to know and love from the software, as well as many new and exciting enhancements. Our latest update allows our built-in employee referral tool to be used as a standalone option with a fast setup time so your records can stay up-to-date in real time to drive referrals faster with virtually any payroll or HRIS provider. 

These recent changes have stirred up some frequently asked questions about Hireology Referrals, which we are happy to address.

Hireology Referrals FAQ

What is Hireology Referrals?

Hireology Referrals is our platform’s built-in employee referral tool that powers employee referral programs for our customers. Data shows that referrals are hired faster, stay longer, and are more engaged during their employment than non-referred candidates, which make this a valuable candidate pool to source from. 

The platform allows you to establish and run email and text messaging campaigns right from the platform, allowing you to communicate with candidates quickly and be notified when they reply. Plus, you’ll never forget to send a referral payout again since timing, amounts, and more are managed on the platform. No more switching between spreadsheets or manually tracking payout timing!

The best part? Our in-app data and analytics let you track your performance over time so that you can make adjustments to run the best program possible. 

Why would I want an employee referral software?

Employee referral software takes all of the steps that go into maintaining an employee referral program and centralizes them into one easy-to-use platform. Instead of your HR team toggling between spreadsheets or manually tracking when a payout should be given on a calendar, the tool houses all of this information — and gives you a notification when action needs to be taken.

Plus, with an employee referral software like Hireology Referrals, all communication with referred candidates is in the same place too, whether you choose to use text or email as your channel. Now there’s no way to overlook a reply you’ve been waiting for!
