WHY SHOULD YOU
REFER SOMEONE??
Better Fit For Your Team
In general, employers say that referred hires fit the company culture better than hires
from other sources. Why is that?
1. You are the expert! You will know your office’s culture better than anyone
else.
2. You can provide more insights. What the is manager like, what personality
would fit best, specific ways they can succeed and also describe the team
structure. If its fast paced or laidback.
3. You know what your team is missing. Remember, we’re hiring a person not
just their skillsets. We also believe diversity is important to have on any team
and company.
4. You can endorse the referral’s skills and experiences on a personal level. 
5. You are able to express VMD’s culture as a whole to help a referral make an
informed decision.
6. You can help the application numbers increase- Referrals will refer others
and help us reach additional candidates
Less Turnover & Faster Hiring
Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) conducted a study in recent years
that analyzed data from approximately 14 million applicants. The results showed that
Employee referrals delivered more than 30% of overall hires showing that referrals
remain the top source for talent.
In general…
• Referrals stay longer meaning less turnover and more consistency on the team.
• Positions are filled faster at VMD when a referral under consideration.
The interview to hire ratio for non-referrals is 5:1 and average time to fill is 40
days
The interview to hire ratio for referrals is 2:1 and average time to fill is less than
25 days
