Job referrals have long formed part of the sourcing strategy for recruiters and employers, however the use of online referral services are less common. The referring of jobs through social networks will not succeed unless there is clear value for the referrer within a framework that protects their reputation.

While predominantly focused on Australia, global research has been included due to a lack of publicly available Australian data points. 

Topics covered:
