01Why employee referrals work

The highest-converting, lowest-cost, longest-tenured hiring channel, when you run it right.

Decades of talent acquisition research keep landing on the same answer: employee referrals out-perform every other source of hire on cost, speed, quality, and retention. ERIN's job is to make that channel easy enough that every employee actually uses it.
