SmartRecruiters Employee Referrals, Powered by ERIN

SmartRecruiters gives you the hiring platform. ERIN gives you the employee referral platform that sits on top of it, mobile-first, AI-powered, and automated end-to-end.

01The problem

Why SmartRecruiters's native referrals aren't enough

No standalone referral app

Employees have to log into SmartRecruiters to refer, a barrier most frontline and casual users won't cross.

Limited bonus automation

Bonus rules, milestones, and payouts require manual configuration and tracking outside the ATS.

No referral marketing campaigns

Recruitment marketing teams need separate tools to launch contests, branded assets, and segmented campaigns.

02How it works

ERIN + SmartRecruiters, integrated end-to-end

SmartRecruiters stays your system of record. ERIN handles the employee referral experience and pushes everything back automatically.

Step 1
Jobs sync from SmartRecruiters

Open requisitions flow into ERIN automatically, no manual posting.

Step 2
Employees refer in ERIN

AI suggests warm matches. Employees refer in 30 seconds from their phone.

Step 3
Candidates land in SmartRecruiters

Referrals appear in your recruiter workflow with full source attribution.

Step 4
Bonuses paid automatically

Eligibility, milestones, and payouts run on autopilot, straight to payroll.
