Rewards system can also get boring for employees after some time if the incentives and prizes remain static for a long period of time.
When you introduce gamification into your referral program, you can move to a points based reward system where you can accumulate points based on how successful you are in the referral game.
These points are redeemable by employees against prizes of their choice.

Conducting workshops that educate employees on the ways to effectively leverage their connections and pin point good candidates can go a long way in drawing more employees to participate in the program.
