More than a hire only bonus

Reward employees for introducing strong candidates, not only for the final hire.

Traditional programs can make employees wait months for recognition and give no credit when a good referral progresses but another candidate is hired. Milestone rewards create earlier feedback, make quality visible and encourage employees to keep referring relevant people.

Recognize participation

Give employees a reason to contribute

Award a configurable number of points when a valid referral enters the program, so participation is acknowledged immediately.

Reward candidate quality

Add points as referrals advance

Recognize shortlisted, interviewed and final round candidates even when the eventual hiring outcome depends on factors outside the employee’s control.

Sustain engagement

Create a visible progress loop

Let employees follow referral status, points and program standings through a transparent referral experience.

A loyalty style model for employee referrals

Configure the incentives that fit each role, program and hiring stage.

Like a well designed rewards program, CVViZ can recognize several valuable actions instead of offering value only at the end. Employers define the milestones and point values. Employees see how a relevant referral progresses.

01

Program and reward configuration

Create different programs for urgent roles, graduate hiring, specialist positions or other hiring needs, with the points or rewards appropriate to each program.

02

Employee participation and visibility

Give employees a clear place to refer people, view current and past referrals, follow status and see the points or bonuses earned under the configured program.

One connected referral workflow

Turn each employee introduction into a transparent candidate journey.

Employees can see that their contribution is recognized, recruiters retain the referral source and candidate context, and milestone rules can award points as the candidate moves through the configured hiring stages.

Configurable milestone rewards

Give employees meaningful credit as strong referrals move forward.

Set one point value for making a referral, another when the candidate is shortlisted or enters the interview process, more when the candidate reaches the final round, and a further reward when the candidate is hired. Your team decides which stages count and how many points each stage awards.

Make it easy to refer, follow progress and understand recognition.

An internal referral experience gives employees a clear way to submit candidates and view their referral history, current status and configured rewards. Leaderboards can highlight referral champions while talent teams monitor participation and program performance.
