Independent marketing agency WiredCo. has added four new hires in six weeks through its 'recruit your mates' referral program.
Facing a tough talent market, recruit your mates was launched as the agency’s own recruitment drive which offered $10,000 per role for successful placements.
The person who recommends a successful candidate is paid 50% upfront, then another $5,000 once that candidate successfully finishes their trial period.
The new hires comprise of Audrey Joseph - creative & content manager, Nelson Elvery-Porter - campaign manager, Dean Fernance - community manager, and Carley Paulsen - social media specialist.
Michelle Hampton, Wired Agency's managing partner, said: “We felt that conventional recruitment tactics weren't working anymore and we needed to accelerate things.”
