Referral recruitment: Recruitment method in which employees refer to their acquaintance to apply for an open position. It enables the company to hire more suitable applicants for the company because the applicant is referred by incumbent employees who have proper understanding of the company. At the same time, applicants can gain knowledge about the company from its employees and understand the company well so that it is also helpful to prevent mismatches to be discovered after joining the company.
