Your Friends Could Make You £3,000 Richer!

PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 08, 2007 – It is New Year and the extravagances of the season will have to be paid for in a few weeks. Would an extra source of income help? Job site ‘JobTonic.com’ might have the answer. JobTonic.com specialises in getting people to recommend jobs to friends and gives them a cash reward if the friend takes the job. JobTonic.com M.D., Gordon Adam, estimates that a person with 20 friends in administration and office work could net him/herself a cash reward of £3,000 with minimum effort. Those with friends in higher places could make a lot more.

Examples of rewards available today are:
· Secretarial/administrative support £1,000
· Customer service associate £200
· Private client tax partner £10,000

Gordon Adam, who has 18 years experience of recruitment, explained, ‘It makes sense to ask job seekers to recommend a friend - they know which of their friends and colleagues are happy at work and which ones want to move on. We enable all our site users to email job details direct to other people. Giving a cash reward to the person making the recommendation is just an extension of employee referral schemes that already exist in most companies.
Combining the reward/recommendation with the reach of the Internet makes it a very powerful tool for employers.’

‘We estimate that we will be paying out £200,000 to referrers in the first quarter of 2007,’ concludes Adam.
