01
The challenge

A quiet stream, waiting to become an engine.

When Steve Farrell joined YES as COO, he studied the labor market and saw a shortage coming. YES already had Staffing Referrals but wasn't actively using it. The data told the story anyway: even with no formal program and no bonus, the platform was quietly generating referred candidates every week. The opportunity was to turn that quiet stream into the engine.

02
How it works for them

Reputation, scaled by automation.

01

Automated text campaigns

Reach candidates at the right moments, after an interview, during an assignment, as a contract winds down. Soft and organic, not a marketing push.

02

Recruiters never leave Avionté

Referred candidates surface automatically with the source labeled, right in the ATS.

03

Great Recruiters integration

A positive review triggers an automatic referral prompt. In 2025 that flow alone produced close to 100 referrals.

Referred vs. non-referred

Referred talent stays 64% longer.

Client referrals, too

YES ran its first client referral campaign and within 24 hours had two new client leads, both leading to discovery meetings. Longer tenure plus client growth, with no bonus paid.

Referrals aren't something we're chasing. They're something we've earned. Staffing Referrals is the engine that automatically scales what we've already built.
