Academic ConnectThe best things in life are free..
well at least that is true for University Employee Referrals.
When you engage your department staff to share a job, they feel part of the process, and importantly, they reap the reward of working with a brilliant new hire.
Referred applicants are:
- more qualified
- hired faster
- and stick around longer.
- But more importantly, they are quicker to create a positive workplace impact and contribute to a happier team.

Introducing the world’s first Employee Referral Portal for jobs in Higher Education.
AcademicConnect makes it super easy to engage their employees to make more ‘high quality’ referrals to fill their open positions. AcademicConnect is so effective at boosting referrals, that universities and colleges that we work with, are sourcing more than half their hires from employee referrals.
We achieve this by keeping your employees in the loop about open jobs , empowering them to make referrals in less than 30 seconds, and acknowledging their contribution to their next potential hire and their positive workplace culture.
It’s super easy… when you next post a job to ‘AcademicJobs.com’ you will get immediate access to start using AcademicConnect.
Your employees are your ‘Brand Ambassadors’, and they know great people in their field of expertise. They have worked with them before, met them at conferences and events, collaborated and coauthored with them.
Employees can make referrals using our mobile or desktop browsers. Their colleagues & peers are then sent a simple message about the job opening by email or text message.
To start with, you go to any job you have on Academic Jobs, click ‘Launch Academic Connect’ and simply pass the job to 6 department seniors. They will be instantly notified of how they become involved as brand ambassadors. They, in turn, pass it on to 6 more within the department, and they pass it to 6 external professionals in their network. That’s 216 highly qualified referrals!
We call this ‘The 6 Degrees of Education’, where somewhere, someone knows ‘The One’ for the job.
Oh, these referrals are kept in your AcademicConnect database too, making it easy for the next time you want to hire. You and your team can add to this database at anytime. Your alumni can also nominate to get notified when jobs come up, and continue to be a ‘Brand Ambassador’ for your organisation.
Referred applicants are:
- more qualified
- hired faster
- and stick around longer.
- But more importantly, they are quicker to create a positive workplace impact and contribute to a happier team.
