The employee referral programme enables you to discover open roles at your organisation and refer qualified candidates directly. Your employer can configure incentive rewards for successful referrals, and the system automatically notifies you when new roles that match referral eligibility are published.
This article will show you how to:
- Browse open roles and view referral opportunities
- Submit a referral for a candidate
- Understand referral rewards and incentives
- Receive notifications about new roles
Refer a candidate through the employee referral programme
Before you submit a referral, you can explore which roles are open at your organisation and available for referrals. This helps you identify positions where you might know a suitable candidate.
- Log in to Employment Hero.
- Open the EH Work App on your mobile device.
- Navigate to your home screen. You will see the Referral section displaying open roles with referral eligibility.
- Each job card shows the available role title and the referral incentive reward associated with it. Click See all roles to view the full job board for additional opportunities.
- You can also access the referral submission page through the Employment Hero web portal if your organisation has enabled this access method.
Helpful Hint
Not all open roles may have referrals enabled. Your employer determines which positions accept employee referrals and what rewards are offered for each role.
The EH Work App provides the quickest way to refer candidates. The referral form requires only essential information, making the process simple and fast.
- Open the EH Work App.
- Navigate to the Referral section on your home screen.
- Select the role for which you wish to refer a candidate.
- Click Refer to open the referral form.
- Complete the referral form with the candidate information:
- Candidate name
- Candidate email address
- Click Submit to send your referral.
- You will receive confirmation that your referral has been submitted successfully.
You can also submit referrals through the Employment Hero web portal if your organisation has enabled this access method.
- Log in to your Employment Hero account.
- Navigate to the referral section or careers area.
- Select an open role and click Refer a candidate.
- Complete the referral form with the candidate name and email address.
- Click Submit to send your referral.
Your employer may offer rewards for successful referrals. These incentives motivate employees to participate in the referral programme and can vary based on the role and your organisation.
- When viewing open roles in the Referral section, each job card displays the referral reward associated with that position.
- Rewards may be offered in two types:
- Monetary reward (cash payment)
- Hero Points reward (organisation-specific recognition points)
- Your organisation's HR or payroll administrator determines the reward type and amount for each referral.
- When your referral results in a hire, your organisation's payroll system will process the reward according to the configured amount and type.
Important
Reward eligibility and amounts are determined by your employer. Contact your HR or recruitment team if you have questions about specific incentive details for a role.
Stay informed about new opportunities available for referral by enabling push notifications on the EH Work App. You will be notified whenever your employer publishes a new role that accepts referrals.

- When you first access the Referral section on your home screen, you will be asked for permission to enable push notifications.
- Click Allow to receive notifications when new roles are published at your organisation.
- You can adjust notification settings at any time through your device settings if you wish to disable or modify these preferences.
