My concern has always been where do you draw the line on who and when to offer to pay a referral fee. Once a candidate or HM, who you have a real good relationship with finds out you selectively have been paying for referrals it can really damage your relationship and have a negative impact on your business from a trust and consistently perspective. Think of all the people, who might have referred candidates to you in the past coming back to you and asking for something or feeling they were…
My concern has always been where do you draw the line on who and when to offer to pay a referral fee. Once a candidate or HM, who you have a real good relationship with finds out you selectively have been paying for referrals it can really damage your relationship and have a negative impact on your business from a trust and consistently perspective. Think of all the people, who might have referred candidates to you in the past coming back to you and asking for something or feeling they were cheated. Send them gifts or take them out for dinner or invite them to a event is more my style. I enjoy helping people and in return I hope that I've established enough credibility and trust that they would want to return the favor.

I think that referrals are the lifeblood of the business. I remember the vast majority of the candidate my company placed were referrals. My database was over 60,000 candidates my firm identified, spoke to, recruited etc - we had no subscriptions to job boards. We needed referrals and it's how we made money. Since my view was never that the person I was calling was going to be the person I placed, my intention was to always get a referral and sometimes, the person on the line referred himself…
I think that referrals are the lifeblood of the business. I remember the vast majority of the candidate my company placed were referrals. My database was over 60,000 candidates my firm identified, spoke to, recruited etc - we had no subscriptions to job boards. We needed referrals and it's how we made money. Since my view was never that the person I was calling was going to be the person I placed, my intention was to always get a referral and sometimes, the person on the line referred himself and it was a good start. When I realized during the call with the candidate that they were not going to refer anyone to me and that was after I would want clarification whether or not the lack of a referral was coming from them legitimately not knowing anyone or just not wanting to tell me, I would let them know that I have a referral bonus policy and that I am more than happy to pay out a fee of $2500 bucks if they think of someone they feel would be good for the job I had described to them. Sometimes they would remember within a day or so and call me back. Companies pay recruiters referral fees all the time to find the right candidates. They just paid much more for a referral than I was willing to pay. That is why the economics of making placements work so well.

If a recruiter builds up "referral sources" over time, how equitable is it to continually tap these networks in order to receive referrals due to a "good relationship", that may enable a recruiter to go off and make a 20-30% fee? I know that would start to bother me....but that's just me.

I believe I "think" more like an employee rather then a job "Agency" (I hate that term). I know if a recruiter offered a referral fee, I'd go out of my way to refer someone if I liked the recruiter.

Majority of our jobs on CareerGrub (<a href="http://www.careergrub.com">http://www.careergrub.com</a>) have referral rewards ranging from $1700 to $5900 and they do end up getting more attention than the other jobs. Jobs posted by partner recruiters also have referral fees of about $500 and consistently show higher activity (clicks and applicants) than other similar jobs.<br />

Absolutely Robert. You not only get a placement but you get a friend for life in the person you pay a fee. But do be selective and use only as a last resort. Your prior placements as well as your clients should be in a relationship with you and you with them. Relationships pay off, and both are willing to help a friend. Don't compromise your ethics or principles to make a placement. Use the finders fee judiciously!<br />

I totally " disagree " with paying a source ... for candidates or job referrals . That's Personnel Agency mentality . In all the years I've been in the Recruitment & Consulting business I've never paid someone for a referral . Recently , I treated a friend / candidate / former client to dinner .... partly because he recommended someone to me for a position that I was working on . The work that we do as Search Consultants / Executive Recruiters is hard , time consuming & frustrating ( at times ) . Individuals & companies ( clients ) need to respect us for what we do & how we do it ; not because we " pay someone for names " . Whether it's a new client or someone I've worked with on numerous searches ... I treat every assignment / job order as a " new " one ... & ... I start fresh . Yes ... I have referral sources who recommend / refer names ( & openings ) to me ... but ... they do so because they know the effort I put in to find good people for good career opportunities . Anybody can pay anyone to do the work for them .. but .. how rewarding is that . If you put the time & energy in to be a successful , ethical & respected Recruitment Consultant , you shouldn't have to pay anyone for anything .
