Post COVID-19 recruitment had emerged certain trends such as remote work, virtual recruiting, automation, flexibility and adaptability; COVID-19 had opened a full digitalization of the recruitment process.

Referral is, by far, one of the most crucial sources of hiring new employees. Some benefits of referral are: improvement of employee retention, time and budget saver, higher quality of hiring and builds a stronger employer’s brand.

Current employees can refer a friend through their phone, with the use of Odoo app. The referral app can also be personalized, to make it more fun and attractive for employees to use and employees can be more dedicated on referring applicants. On the referral dashboard, employees can earn points through referrals and can convert their points to certain rewards such as coupons.

On the referral dashboard, the employee can also track the status of his/her referral, check on what stage he/she is at and even earn points. This is good news for the HR department, who is usually bombarded with follow ups by employees on their referrals.

An employee could also easily share or email the list of vacant positions in their company or can suggest a specific job position to their referral/s. With the forwarded link, the referral can view the job description/s and overview/s. Once the email with the link of the vacant position/s has been received by the referral, the referral can easily fill up necessary information and upload his/her resume.

The number of referrals, on-going application of referrals and successfully hired referrals would automatically reflect on the employee’s referral dashboard.

HR can then see real-time, applications and easily update status of the recruitment process and schedule interviews and give feedback.
