 3. Employee Referrals:

Detailed Description of the Method Selected:

In traditional networking, employee referrals mean recruiting done through the

friends or relatives of existing employees working in the company. Though this
kind of campaign, organization are announcing job openings on their intranet or
newsletter. Usually cash prize or rewards are given to the employee with whose
referral new hire has been done. As no private agency is involved in between,
cash or reward to the said employee would be cost effective.

First of all, this is the cost-effective method of recruiting as there is no

involvement of private recruitment agency. In addition to this company will get
best talent because the hiring has been done through one of the employees. As
no one know the organization better other than employee. This method is ideal
when the company wants to hire a person for the middle or senior level position.

Canada, reference is utmost important thing when it comes to hiring. Here in
Canada company always looks for reference when they want to recruit for some
