What It Is

Staffing Referrals is an automated referral management (ARM) platform built specifically for staffing agencies. Its goal is to turn an agency’s existing talent database into a steady source of candidate referrals. The platform emphasizes automated email, SMS, social sharing, and branded ambassador dashboards to help recruiting firms reduce reliance on job boards, while tracking, pre-screening, and syncing referral leads.

Core Features and Integrations

The platform covers the full “promote—capture—pre-qualify—track—sync” workflow. It offers 30+ email templates, automated referral program invitations, personalized brand ambassador dashboards, social sharing, real-time lead notifications, referral profiles and job broadcasts, configurable forms, automated pre-screening, and interview scheduling. It supports white labeling, with landing pages and automated messages customizable to match an agency’s brand. Integrations are a major strength: the site explicitly lists Bullhorn, AviontéBOLD, JobAdder, JobDiva, Salesforce, TargetRecruit, TempWorks, as well as TextUs, WorkN, StaffUpApp, Great Recruiters, Bullhorn Automation, Rybbon, and others. It can also be used without an ATS as a standalone lead-generation tool.

Pricing and Service

Pricing is divided into three tiers: Starter, Pro, and Enterprise, segmented by agency size: fewer than 10 employees, 10–99 employees, and 100+ employees. Specific prices are not disclosed, and all plans require contacting sales. Starter is relatively basic and includes only 1 user. Pro adds TextUs, automated pre-screening, interview scheduling, tech stack integrations, BHN Rewards reward payments, and API access. Enterprise further adds a mobile app and custom integrations. Support options include training sessions, email/ticket support, phone support, and Zoom support, with different allowances depending on the tier.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clear focus on staffing industry workflows, broad ATS ecosystem coverage, comprehensive referral automation, white-label support, and the ability to request open API access. For agencies with an existing candidate database and strong candidate relationships, it can provide a more systematic way to operate referral channels. The downsides are opaque pricing and limited Starter capabilities. Security and compliance disclosures are also relatively sparse: the site states that it does not sell or share data and that customers own their candidate data, but we did not find certifications such as SOC 2, ISO, or GDPR-related information. The team permission model is also not explained in detail.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Staffing Referrals is best suited to staffing and recruiting agencies in the U.S. and English-speaking markets, especially teams using ATS platforms such as Bullhorn, Avionté, JobDiva, or Salesforce. The site does not provide information about access from China, and we have not verified it in practice; payment methods are also not disclosed. If used for domestic recruitment in China, key items to validate include network connectivity, contract and payment arrangements, SMS and email deliverability, Chinese localization, and compatibility with local ATS systems. Alternatives may include tools within the Bullhorn ecosystem, Avionté/JobAdder-related capabilities, or China-market products such as Moka, Beisen, and local ATS/referral management solutions.
