Direct Referrals vs Referral Links

With a direct referral, you can add in one candidate’s details at a time and submit them to be reviewed for a role.

With a referral link, you can post the job board or a specific job posting to your network (for example, on LinkedIn) and anyone who applies via that link will be credited to you.

You will also have the option to upload a resume, add their phone number, a link to their website and any notes. An admin can customize the referral form, so you may see some additional or different options here from the form pictured.

A referred candidate will automatically be added to the ‘Application Review’ stage in the candidate pipeline for the specified role.
