There are various factors which affect the performance of an employee referral
program. But, nothing impacts the program more than the rate of responsiveness to
employee referrals.
Being responsive also covers providing feedback to employees, particularly in cases
of weak referrals to enable them to refer better candidates in future.
INTRODUCTION
How can you be more responsive in your Employee Referral Program?
Below are a few simple steps that can help you make your referral
program more responsive and in turn far more successful:

Issue a formal declaration giving all employee referrals priority in the recruitment process. This means actively soliciting referrals from employees right from the onboarding process, town-halls and company meetings to making it a part of the appraisal process. Include job openings in company newsletters and other communication so that employees are always aware of the kind of skill sets you are looking for and can actively seek out referrals that fit the job description.
Communicate

Set SLAs for responding to employee referrals. This can include a time window of 2-3 days to respond to employees and possibly a week to screen the candidate and update them on the progress. Interviewing employees to ascertain their degree of acquaintance with the referral candidate should also ideally be closed within the first week itself.

Tag referred Candidates to fast track them through the recruitment process. Highly responsive programs set targets like closing the candidate screening and interview with decision to offer or reject within a week of getting the referral. Others set specific targets for each interview stage to ensure employee referrals are expedited and feedback provided to employees as soon as possible.
