How we made employee referral as easy as a Slack cmd line

> We could have given referrers a bonus or a percentage of the recruit’s wage, but we found a way that not only is more fun, but also more in accordance with our company culture.

> Therefore, every time an employee refers someone who gets hired, he or she gets 2000 briqs — briqs are not yet indexed to dollar or gold. But let’s say it’s the equivalent of the latest iPad.

At my company, you earn $8000 per engineering referral that gets hired. But okay, I guess some virtual currency that you issued that might be equal to an iPad will do the trick.

lucky you! In France (where we're located), the average referral bonus is 700€ - for any kind of company. We'd love to know about the size of your company and referral bonuses for other positions (to get a better idea)?

hey, thanks for posting this to HN! Would love to hear what you think of the article / our referral system. Cheers

What the hell is Slack?
