This works well if selection is for limited positions. In bulk recruiting, this cannot be recommended though. Here is a webinar on Best practices of Referral Hiring.
Offering irresistible recruiting perks - This works well for candidates who are super talented but have a few pre-requisites like flexible timings (this works wonders for the woman workforce), accommodation, early login and early logout and the like. When the organization takes a little care in these aspects, it goes a long way in building strong bonds.
