"We are immensely excited to roll out this unique referral program. It is indeed a great way to get more candidate profiles because the candidate is being referred to the job by another candidate who has been scheduled for that job interview. This becomes hugely beneficial for us because the referrer is well aware of the job responsibilities and is also well aware of the details of the person he is referring the job to. This makes the entire recruitment process much simpler and credible at the same time. Candidates who manage to close a successful referral stand a chance to win a reward," said VP Marketing AasaanJobs, Siddharth Gupta.
"Within a week's time, we have already started receiving more than 100 referrals a day, on an average," added Gupta.
As a part of the program, Aasaanjobs will send referral alerts to those prospective candidates who would have fixed their interview for that particular job.
