Most organizations cite "employee referral" source of hire as between 30 and 50%. So if they benefits are so great, why isn't that percentage higher?

Talent Scouting and Social Networking: The New Employee Referral ProgramAvailable to Executive Members

Webcast: February 19, 2008
As citizens of the 21st century are accustomed, digital communication methods (social networking, email, text messaging) are often criticized as somehow lazy or sub-par to face-to-face introductions and meetings and hand-written letters. In the pre-webcam days, that might have been true. The reality of today is that most of us have more "friends" in their social networking circles than in our holiday greeting card lists, not because one activity decreased or slid into oblivion, but because a new activity-interacting virtually- increased.

Innovative employers have recognized this, and are leveraging it to find other new employees- and they want them to be just like those "Top Friends" of yours. What are the best ways to maximize on your employees' networking activities? How can you turn those activities into successful hires? Join us for a webcast on this topic as we explore best practices to increase your quality candidate flow through employee referrals. more »
