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

Teamable

Stands out: Referral software that actually reads employee networks and suggests matches, not a static 'forward this job' form.

Watch out: Quote-only. LinkedIn network mapping will be a legal and comms review. This is not a $99/mo widget.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a simple referral form
  • Teams that will not connect LinkedIn
  • Buyers who need a public price

Pros and cons

EmployeeReferrals.com

  • Portal plus PWA with leaderboards and social Auto Share
  • Rewards engine for cash, points, gift cards, raffles, and micro-rewards

  • Quoted only. No public per-employee rate
  • Portal login is a weaker fit for deskless SMS-first workforces
  • ATS names are described generically on the homepage, not as a logo wall

Teamable

  • Network mapping rather than a dead referral inbox
  • Match suggestions from employee LinkedIn graphs
  • Aimed at programmes that already failed once
  • Quote-only
  • No published integrations list
  • LinkedIn access is a political sale
