1. How did you react when you found out you were a Refer Champion?

I was positively  surprised, but I will not hide that I’m looking to refer  maximum people I can, for me it’s a win-win . I’m helping people to find good work environment, on other hand they are finding a job they need.

2. What qualities do you look for when identifying people to REFER?

First I’m looking for people speaking languages and whether I worked with them before. Sometime I’m referring  friends of my friends, who know that I’m working in Sutherland and ask information for the company, always leaving assessment to our recruitment team. Often I’m referring native speakers I know from the period when I lived abroad, they don’t know anything for Sutherland.

3. How do you ensure that your referrals complete their applications?

I’m trying  to follow up with them if they are a friend, when they are friends of friends I’m counting on the fact that they are serious and will do all necessary steps on their own.
