Referrals
Referrals have become an integral part of modern recruitment strategies, and Odoo's Human Resources module seamlessly incorporates this feature to enhance hiring processes.
By leveraging the power of existing employees' networks, organizations can find qualified candidates more effectively while fostering a culture of collaboration and trust.
What Are Referrals in HR?
Referrals in HR involve employees recommending potential candidates for open positions within their organization. This method is highly valued for its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to bring in talent that aligns with the company’s culture and values.
Odoo elevates this process by offering a streamlined referral platform where employees can easily suggest candidates and track the progress of their referrals.

Odoo incorporates gamification to make referrals fun and motivating. Employees earn points or rewards for successful referrals, encouraging more participation. - Integration with Recruitment Tools
Referrals are seamlessly integrated with Odoo's recruitment module. HR teams can manage all applications whether direct or through referrals in one place, simplifying candidate evaluation and communication.
