Chances are high your company offers employees a monetary bonus when they refer a candidate who then is hired (and who stays with your company for a set number of months). But there’s a problem: Referral Bonuses Don’t Work! Answer: as powerful as referral bonuses are when employees refer people they know to you, they only work if employees actually refer job candidates.
