description

Lou Adler contends that a Proactive Employee Referral Program (PERP) might just be the next sourcing silver bullet. In fact, it might be the first real one. According to Lou, with a host of new networking tools now available, it’s easier for your employees to stay in touch with the best people they’ve worked with in the past. Rather than waiting for your employees to recommend people who are looking, ask them who are the best people in their network they consider apt for an open position. The base of a PERP however is most certainly employee participation. Attend this webinar to hear Lou Adler suggest the best ways to get employees to proactively participate in your referral program and transform your mediocre ERP to a power charged PERP.
