Did you know referrals have up to an 80% close rate? In building your referral sourcing for a higher close rate, consider High Touch vs High Tech. While we move into an era of technology, it’s important to remember a high touch approach in how you are building your referral network. Engage with your new hire while asking investigative questions with a clear call to action to build referrals. How are you building your referral sourcing program?
Organizations that are deploying a 'high touch' strategy are seeing significant increase in engagement with candidates! Some feedback they are getting . . . "Wow - it is so nice to get a call or personal message from a actual person. Not a chat bot." Old School might be new school . . . Hmmm
You have already built a relationship with your new hires. Tap into their circle of family, friends and network using your personal touch and enthusiasm.
