Employee referrals are one of the easiest and most powerful ways to help your company find great talent—and that’s where the Talkpush Referral System comes in. This platform lets you quickly refer people you trust for open roles at your company, track the progress of your referrals, and earn recognition for your contributions along the way.

Designed to be fast and straightforward, the Talkpush Referral System connects directly with your company’s hiring process, so every referral you submit goes straight into the recruitment pipeline.


Who can Access

The platform can be accessed by two user types: Admins and Referrers.

Admins can:

  • View all referrals submitted to their company

  • See all referrers (employees) in their company

  • Manage users within their company

  • Access company-level analytics and leaderboard

While Referrers can:

  • Submit referrals for positions in their company

  • Track their own submitted referrals

  • View personal statistics and achievements

  • Participate in the company leaderboard

To access the Employee Referrer Portal, please contact your Account Manager.


How to Refer a Candidate

When accessing the platform, users will be prompted to refer a candidate right away or to log in to their account.

Once they complete their initial details, such as their name, email, and employee number, the system will ask the user to verify their email by sending a special code.

Lastly, you can fill in all the details of your referral, including the job to which they are being referred.

Once that is done, you will receive a confirmation that we will send your referral's information and ask whether you would like to check the dashboard or refer another profile.


The Dashboard

While all users can access the Dashboard, depending on your access level, you might see different information.

Referrers or Employees are able to track several metrics:

  • Total Referrals: All-time count of submitted referrals

  • This Month: Current month's referrals with percentage change

  • Hires from Referrals: Number of successful placements

  • Hire Rate: Conversion rate percentage

For each of your referrals, you will see their personal details, such as their name and email, as well as information about their application progress and status.

Additionally, you will be able to see a compact company leaderboard that shows the user with the most referrals in the month. For more information, you can access the Leaderboard tab.

Lastly, each user will be granted achievements based on their referrals. These are found at the bottom of the page.

Admins will have a broader visualization of referrals, as they will be able to see the complete list of candidates referred to their company, as well as the following statistics:

  • Total Referrals (company-specific)

  • This Month count

  • Hires from Referrals

  • Company Hire Rate


Statuses

While each candidate goes through their application process, they will be labeled with a status that matches the process in Talkpush. These are the statuses in which the referrals can be found:
