An employee referral is an application that comes about through a contact in the company. The existing employees scour their own networks and make their contacts aware of positions to be filled. In doing so, they rely on acquaintances from previous projects or former work colleagues with whom they have already worked and whom they can recommend with a clear conscience. After all, every employee has their own network and can find suitable specialists more easily than any HR manager. In turn, the specialists addressed know the company's employees and know that they would not make a referral if they were not suitable. This provides a valuable leap of faith that a job advertisement cannot achieve on its own. You can find out how to receive an application by referral on this page.
