Technology that rocket fuels referrals & employer brand advocacy

Schedule posts, review matches and share across social networks

Auto-matching technology matches live open roles in your business with your employee’s networks. All they have to do is share directly with the individual or promote roles across a broad range of social networks. Employees can schedule social posts to be released at a later date, maintaining activity and engagement even when they’re not using the platform. 

Social Sharing
Reward shop gamification

A gamified and fun experience for employees

Live leaderboards, raffles, rewards shops, confetti and prizes makes every campaign interactive and engaging – optimising employee engagement to between 70-90%. At the touch of a button, employees can see the status of their referrals, their leaderboard position and their rewards. 

Employees use Real Links in Slack, Teams or mobile app

Employees don’t need complex training or direct access to the Real Links platform to participate. Real Links enters the slip stream of the employee’s day to day to technology whether that’s Slack, Teams or Email. Employees can share a role; refer a candidate or share company content at the click of a button, directly from the tech platform they are already using, maximising engagement.  For desk-less workers, we have a dedicated mobile app so employees can easily participate wherever they are.

Slack and Teams
TA Teams

Built to prioritise recruiter enablement

For TA teams, Real Links is everything you need to make more referral hires, wherever and whenever you see the need.  Run a time bound hiring drive with any combination of employees, to suit any hiring objective you’re faced with. Leave the admin heavy tasks to Real Links and automate all of your employee comms so you can focus on speaking to qualified candidates.

How Real Links can support your strategic goals...

Tech Hiring

Tech Hiring

Hard to fill tech roles become a thing of the past with campaigns. Run a time limited high impact campaign with your tech team, rapidly driving referral hires and maximising the reach of your employer brand content to passive candidates.

Hiring drives across the business

Hiring drives across the business

Real Links enables you to run short, medium or long term campaigns across all areas of your business that massively increase the percentage of hires via referrals. Use campaigns to drive energy directly into your highest priority hiring objectives.

EDI Hiring

Fast track your EDI objectives by running dedicated campaigns that focus on meeting EDI goals. We're working directly with employee resource groups like Women in Rail; LGBTQIA+; Mental Health Advocacy; Neurodiversity and many more across public and private sector businesses to help support hiring and employer brand messaging across specific areas.

New joiners

New joiners

Employee engagement is often at it highest when a new joiner starts. You can use campaigns as part of a new joiner onboarding program to spread your employer brand message across new networks, and drive new referral candidates for open roles.

Employer brand

Employer brand

We partner with a range of employer brand agencies like Creed Communications and TMP Worldwide to maximise the impact of employer brand messaging through the use of campaigns. Employees are incentivised to share employer brand content across their networks, reinforcing your message and building brand advocacy with new audiences.

Early careers

Early careers

We're working with a range of clients, including Big 4 accountancy firms to run campaigns with interns; University ambassadors and apprentices, getting those individuals to share content and jobs across their networks to attract the best graduate talent and reinforcing your employer brand message to future talent.

Alumni

Alumni

Alumni groups are a fantastic way to open the door to referral hires and new networks. As your alumni go onto grow their networks across other areas, you can incentivise them to share open roles and employer brand content across those networks, giving you access to an entirely new talent pool.

Marketing campaigns

Marketing campaigns

More and more companies are using Real Links campaigns to expand the reach of their corporate messaging, as well as their employer brand messaging. Reward employees for sharing marketing content across their networks, and exponentially increase the reach of your brand awareness.

We were more reliant on agency recruitment than we’d like. We needed a platform to help us engage employees with referrals. Within the first 12 weeks of using Real Links, we’d already seen more referrals hires than the entirety of the previous year which is astronomical.
