Research tells us that employee-referred candidates are up to 30 percent less likely to quit their positions, they have substantially better performance on high-impact metrics, and they even cost less to recruit. Breezy's built-in Employee Referrals give your team the tools it needs to recruit these high performers.

The Referred Candidates report provides details on candidates submitted through the employee portal so you can track how well your referral program is performing.

Real-time analytics and reporting are available to customers on all paid plans.

Candidate Score History by Referrer

Want to take a look at the quality of a team member’s referrals over time? Was someone recommending great candidates in June, but not in October?

The Candidate Score History section can help you understand the quality of sourced candidates (determined by the Scorecards submitted). Grouping by referrer and plotting candidate scores on a timeline can show you trends in candidate quality so you can see when teammates are referring the best candidates.

Candidate Score by Referrer

Using Scorecards data, the Candidate Score by Referrer section shows a snapshot of who is referring the candidates your team loves best. Use this report in conjunction with the more volume-focused reporting in the Candidate Volume by Referrer section to get a clearer picture of your sourcing funnel's effectiveness.
