Tell your boss

We want to partner with your employer and help them maximise the number of candidates they recruit via referral.

Employers and recruitment agencies can register on MoleResourcing.com: take control of company Moles, post jobs, track referred candidates and deactivate Moles if they are not recruiting. TheCareerMole.com and MoleResourcing.com provide a forum with the tools and controls employers, employees and candidates need to get the most out of employee referral schemes and make recruitment more efficient.

If you refer your boss or HR department to TheCareerMole.com and they engage with us, we’ll reward your with a referral bonus. You’ll also be helping your company recruit the best candidates for less, which will make you look good too.

First Century

Hello All - Hope you had a good weekend and weren't caught out in the rain too much!

The Mole is currently going from strength to strength: Following last week's great coverage in The Times we now have Moles in over 100 different companies. The breadth and depth of our Mole coverage continues to grow each day meaning candidate members can speak with a relevant Mole; and employees, registering as Moles, are taking an active role in recruiting for their firms. Candidates win; Employers win; Employees win - or everyone's unfair advantage!

We're adding more new members each day now; if you are getting your friends to sign up, make sure they enter you in to the competition to win the Champneys break! Thanks for all your support.

Regards

The Times

We featured today in The Times job section which you can read here:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/career_and_jobs/graduate_management/article2058945.ece

We are getting an increasing amount of very positive press coverage but we wanted to take this opportunity to respond to the concerns expressed by Deloitte. As we get more opportunities to engage with the press and employers through more in depth coverage of TheCareerMole.com, we feel the outcome of all these discussions will ultimately be positive.

We anticipated and share Deloitte’s concerns in this article. As such, we already have controls in place to prevent Moles focusing all of their time on recruiting rather than their day jobs: Moles can only be contacted by one candidate at a time, limiting the time they can spend referring people. Moles are incentivised to refer only the best candidates with the greatest chance of success, positively affecting their ‘Mole Rating’.

Uniquely, Moles are reactive, only logging in when suitable candidates contact them, unlike other sites where the equivalent of Moles, are expected to invest time proactively searching and matching candidates to jobs.

Employers and recruitment agencies can register on MoleResourcing.com: take control of their Moles, post jobs, track referred candidates and deactivate Moles if they are not recruiting.

TheCareerMole.com and MoleResourcing.com provide a forum with the tools and controls employers, employees and candidates need to get the most out of employee referral schemes and make recruitment more efficient.

If your employer has similar concerns to Deloitte please ask them to contact us directly. If our existing controls and processes do not already address their concerns, we will improve the site so it does. We believe TheCareerMole.com and MoleResourcing.com makes the recruitment industry better for everyone and we'd welcome any conversation to explain how and why so please do get in touch with your concerns, feedback and comments.

Thanks

"There's money in them their referrals!"

We’ve been putting together some figures on exactly how much corporate employee referral schemes pay for a successful referral and the results will be to your liking! From the responses we've had so far the average bonus paid depends on whether you refer a graduate / entry level or an experienced hire.

The averages we have so far are approximately:

- Graduate / Entry level referral bonus = £1,500
- Experienced hire referral bonus = £3,000

Of course these are averages so don't get too excited until you've confirmed the bonus you're eligible for in your company's employee referral policy.

These bonuses are paid to the employee (Mole) direct from their employer as part of their salary. While these are average figures the fact there is a financial reward at all reflects the high value employers place on employee referral.

So what are you waiting for? Join now and get involved!

Happy Moling!
