👥 Recruiting
Referral Request from Employee
Asking your network, customers, or community for referrals. Often generates higher-quality candidates than direct sourcing.

The template
Subject: Know anyone for our {{role}} role?
Hi {{first_name}},
We're hiring for {{role}} at {{your_company}} and I immediately thought of you — not necessarily for yourself, but to ask if you know anyone who might be a fit.
The ideal person: {{ideal_profile_in_1–2_lines}}.
We offer a {{referral_bonus}} for successful referrals. If no one comes to mind immediately, no worries at all.
Thanks for thinking of us.
{{sender_name}}How to use it: Replace all {{placeholder}} variables with specific details before sending. The more specific your replacements, the higher your reply rate.
Personalization tips
- 01Keep the ideal profile description short — 1–2 lines max.
- 02Mention the referral bonus clearly if you have one.
- 03Send to people who genuinely like your company — not cold contacts.
