Pros:

I love how it integrates with our platforms so it is cross-functional. Everything is up to date and accurate.

Cons:

Maybe I'm wrong but you can't track your referrals so maybe that is a point to be thought about in case the person I referred want a proof.

Comments: It's been good, we've been using for a few years and there continue to be improvements in the user experience and look and feel of the platform.

Pros:

From an administrative point of view it does most of the tracking for us, is easy to customize and set up campaigns. It's user friendly and doesn't require using an apply link to count for a referral.

Cons:

The analytics could be better, but for our case it is mostly the way our positions are set up.

Wade Parsons EmployeeReferrals.com review

4.0 7 months ago

Comments: Pretty good. It is very helpful to be able to send potential applicants a direct link to specific jobs and see if they have applied.

Pros:

The ability to track when people you refer apply to positions.

Cons:

The updates seem to stop after the initial application. You don't know if someone was rejected, and you don't know if they were hired until well after they have started (in many instances).

Helps in expediting viable candidates!

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: Overall positive and helpful in helping us identify viable candidates.

Pros:

The ease from a user perspective, and the clarity in the referrals review.

Cons:

I think that all referrals should require a small reason as to why they're referring and the option of leaving it blank should not be allowed.

Made Employee Referrals easy

5.0 last year

Comments: Setup was tedious but their support team was satisfactory. Once it was up and running it worked well and we saw a good boost in referral activity.

Pros:

It integrated nicely with our ATS and we were up and running in a few weeks. Our employees responded nicely to the emails and texts.

Cons:

Setup was cumbersome. Things like getting their emails and IPs whitelisted and their email templates approved were tedious.

Great Employee Referral Tool!

4.0 11 months ago

Comments: So far, we've had a great overall experience so far. Everyone at ERC is friendly and easy to work with. They are also very responsive! We've only been using it for a month now, but one of our subsidiaries used it and they had great things to say about the tool. Excited to see what the next couple of months brings!

Pros:

What I like most about EmployeeReferrals is the ease of use for employees to refer someone. Once you sign in, you can see either the local jobs in your area or search all jobs. It is easy to send the job posting/link to refer someone and easy for the person to review the job description and apply.

Cons:

We just started using ERC but we've run into some issues with our reports and the FTP. We are working through the issues though and I think it time, it will be fine!

Great system for a global company

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall ERC.com is a great system especially for a large company since the system can be used globally and they provide great customer support.

Pros:

The platform is easy to navigate, especially when it comes to switching from admin to employee view as an admin. Settings are easy to change as well. The best thing for me regarding ERC.com though is the customer support. Our Account Manager and Team quickly responds to any questions and systems support we need.

Cons:

I would say the reporting aspect of ERC.com could use some improvement. I can usually create the report I need but it's ease of use to create the report could get better.

New to EmployeeReferrals

5.0 8 months ago

Pros:

In my time using EmployeeReferrals, I liked the ability to update the site based on the user (employee or referral). Being able to customize those messages makes a big difference in user experience. I have really liked the option to customize the image that is shared when you post to social with your link. It gave our company an additional branding point that!

Cons:

I did have some issues when working in the new UI. Specifically with the background images not saving and making for a wonky experience. I also had some issues where what I saw in the preview wasn't what another user saw once it was saved.
