EmployeeReferrals.com vs Staffing Referrals

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

EmployeeReferrals.com is a classic employee-referral portal with gamification, leaderboards, and automated social sharing. Pricing is quoted. A mobile progressive web app mirrors the desktop portal.

Where EmployeeReferrals.com fits

  • Corporate TA teams that want a branded referral site employees will actually open
  • Program owners running competitions, leaderboards, and social advocacy
  • HR teams that need bonus timing, points, and gift cards in one rewards engine
  • Employers whose workforce lives on email and LinkedIn rather than SMS

Staffing Referrals

Sales-quoted

Staffing Referrals is referral software for staffing firms, not in-house employers. It runs inside Bullhorn, Avionte, LaborEdge, TempWorks, and Salesforce. Pricing is quoted. The vendor cites 100-plus firms.

Where Staffing Referrals fits

  • Staffing agencies already on Bullhorn or Avionte that leak referrals in spreadsheets
  • Branches that want a branded job page and ambassador links per recruiter
  • Firms paying talent bonuses and needing eligibility, approvals, and payouts in the ATS
  • Desks that want every placement to trigger the next referral ask

Where they pull apart

EmployeeReferrals.com

Stands out: Auto Share schedules posts on social networks and tracks credit. Rewards mix cash, points, gift cards, raffles, and micro-rewards for referrals, applications, and hires.

Watch out: This is a portal-and-leaderboard product. Deskless teams that will not log in should look at SMS-first tools. ATS, HRIS, and payroll automation are part of the quoted implementation.

Not the right fit for

  • Hourly frontline groups that will only refer by text (see ERIN or Hellora)
  • Staffing agencies that need a Bullhorn-native talent-referral SKU

Staffing Referrals

Stands out: An AI referral agent matches new referrals to jobs or makes the next ask. Branded job pages and ambassador links capture candidates without a second login.

Watch out: This is an agency talent-network product. Corporate employee-referral programs for W-2 staff should look at ERIN or EmployeeReferrals.com. Bonuses and ATS reconciliation are part of the quote.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house TA teams running an employee-referral bonus for corporate staff
  • Agencies that need a public monthly SKU before a demo

  • Built for staffing firms, with live capture inside Bullhorn and Avionte
  • AI agent that matches referrals to jobs or makes the next ask
  • Capterra 4.9 from 16 reviews on the matching Staffing Referrals product
  • Quoted only. Aimed at agencies, not corporate HR
  • Value depends on already running Bullhorn-class ATS
