Now, what if Snaptalent paid a bonus to the original referring blog (if one of the blog's readers was hired - using maybe cryptographically signed tracking codes)? Yes, it's kind of a crapshoot - more a lottery (but the store that sells the winning lottery ticket typically gets a sizeable bonus)
Interesting idea. We've played around with some referral hiring ideas. The primary issue with referral hiring tends to be the fact that it is really hard to enforce extra payment from a company when somebody is hired (since they are basically on the honor system). In fact, the only successful implementation of referral based hiring to date seems to be Jobvite, which is possible because it is running internal referral hiring for a company.
Since Jobvite is run by the company, and the company is liable to keep its own employees happy, the problem works itself out. It tends to be a lot harder to enforce payment externally which is probably why companies like zubka.com have struggled.
We would certainly love it if we could easily track and charge based on hires, but it is unfortunately not a pragmatic solution yet. If you have suggestions for how we can improve this we'd love to hear from you at feedback@snaptalent.com
