Companies can set their own reward levels, which range from $100 to $20000. Recentlythe total pool of available referral bonuses reached one million dollars.
We re thrilled with this new milestone, said Chris Brown, VP of FaceContact.com. Our site is the only one that helps companies find the job candidates they relooking for by harnessing the power of referral bonuses.
Mr. Abolmasov attributes the company s success to prominent trends in humanresources. According to the CXR 2007 Annual Source of Hire Study, referrals fromemployees, alumni, vendors, and other parties lead to 29% of all external hires.Industry experts often state that every third referral turns into a hire, butreferrals are not leveraged as well as they could be , despite their importance inU.S. hiring practices.
