A referral scheme for introducing potential new clients

At Vanilla Recruitment, we’re passionate about building strong, lasting relationships with our incredible candidates and clients. We know that great people often know other great people, which is why we’ve introduced our client referral scheme.

As a small business, we take great pride in the fact that the majority of our clients (87%) come to us through referrals and recommendations. This reflects the trust and satisfaction our clients and candidates have in our services, and we remain committed to delivering exceptional value that strengthens these relationships.

If you know a business or hiring manager who could benefit from our recruitment expertise, we’d love for you to introduce us. As a thank-you for recommending a potential new client, we offer a referral reward once we successfully place a candidate with them.

It’s our way of showing appreciation for your support and helping us grow our network through trusted connections.
