How to Add Employee Referral Recruitment in UKG

17th November 2023

An organization’s success in today’s competitive business environment rests on its ability to attract and retain top talent. When it comes to achieving sustainable growth in a competitive market, recruiting top talent is essential for numerous compelling reasons that extend far beyond simply filling open positions. It greatly contributes to crucial aspects such as employee satisfaction, exponential growth, and attracting top talent, among other significant benefits. And to truly achieve these goals, employee referral recruitment is undeniably the most effective strategy to implement. That is precisely where CloudApper’s hrPad comes in. CloudApper’ hrPad is a tablet/iPad-based AI-powered talent acquisition solution that seamlessly integrates with your organization’s existing UKG HCM ecosystem and helps you attract and retain top talent. 

In this article, we will explore the challenges of traditional recruitment, how hrPad deals with these challenges through employee referral and AI, and how hrPad’s tablet/iPad-based solution will enable you to add employee referral recruitment into your organization’s existing UKG HCM.

Traditional Recruitment vs Employee Referral Recruitment

HR professionals and UKG users navigating the decision between traditional recruitment and employee referrals must consider key factors—speed, costs, and onboarding complexities. Traditional methods, relying on external sources and extensive advertising, often lead to prolonged hiring processes. In contrast, employee referral recruitment leverages internal networks, expediting candidate selection efficiently.

From a financial perspective, traditional recruitment tends to result in higher expenses, including advertising and agency fees. Conversely, employee referral recruitment presents a potential cost-saving avenue, particularly with the incorporation of referral bonuses. The distinction extends to onboarding, where traditional methods involve intricate external negotiations, while employee referral recruitment simplifies the process through internal recommendations.

Opting for a more agile and cost-effective strategy, Employee Referral Recruitment, especially through CloudApper’s hrPad, proves advantageous. hrPad, equipped with an AI-powered talent acquisition solution, directly addresses these challenges. With an AI-powered referral function for swift candidate identification, the capability to build an in-house talent pool for cost-effective solutions, and an AI chatbot AskHR for seamless onboarding, hrPad transforms and optimizes the talent acquisition landscape. By embracing Employee Referral Recruitment with CloudApper hrPad, HR professionals and UKG users unlock a faster, more cost-effective, and streamlined talent acquisition process.
