(June 2008 – Toronto) “My friend Jake would be perfect for that position”. How many times have you thought about referring a friend, family member or peer for a job? It comes naturally. But even if we actively end up helping our friends, it’s not something we ever get paid for – until now.
Bohire is Canada’s Job Referral Community™, and it is the most revolutionary concept to hit the human resources scene to date. Bohire connects employers to passive job seekers through direct referrals. The concept was developed using over 45 years of Human Resources experience. Bohire leverages the power and effectiveness of social networking into job referrals. “Studies confirm that the best quality candidates have always come from referrals,” says partner Vincent Tsang, “Bohire is a referral community. People refer their friends to jobs and have the opportunity to make great money. Its effective because everybody in the community ends up winning.”
It’s easy and free to join at www.bohire.com. Once you are a member, you can start earning referral bonuses by recommending friends to positions posted on the site. If your friend gets the job, you get the cash. A Referrer recently received a $2240 cash reward, and to date Bohire has over $240 000 worth of cash rewards available for the job referring community.
Canada’s top employers have joined the Bohire community including Kraft Canada, Miller Thomson LLP, National Bank and Winners Merchants International. The Bohire community is growing rapidly day by day. And why not join? Bohire saves employers up to 85% off their current recruitment costs. It is free to join and free to post unlimited jobs. As if that wasn’t incentive enough, partner Vince Wong adds “Employers get to choose the amount of the referral bonus and they only pay if they hire the candidate so they can’t lose. What we wanted to do with Bohire is create an environment where employers, job seekers and referrers all work together to meet a common goal.” So far Bohire is succeeding with this goal and they are pleased with the positive response from the community.
“Bohire is bringing quality people straight to us through a direct referral. Using the rating system we have full confidence in hiring a referred candidate.” And the results? “We are completely satisfied with and fully support Bohire – they have delivered exactly what we needed.”
