Refer a Friend for a Job email template

Why does it matter?

‍People on your team can give you good referrals if they already know the company and what it does. They can also recommend the company to those who may be interested in changing careers but are not actively seeking employment.

When to send?

‍Once a vacancy becomes available. Send an email with the vacancy details and ask employees to refer their friends.

‍What to include?

‍It is great to include details about the role, and the detail you need about the person the employee is referring to:

• The title
• The salary
• The skills/qualifications required
• What the employee needs to send for the referral
• How the referral scheme works
