When implemented correctly, a referral program can be your most powerful recruiting engine, however many factors can influence the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll specifically examine the connection between your overall employee satisfaction and referral rates, the importance of clearly defined program rules and service level agreements, the need for transparency in the process and the challenges of developing a fair reward structure, especially in an international environment.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll take you through the evolution of Red Hat\u2019s referral program, from our early days as an edgy startup to our current status as a global enterprise leader. We\u2019ll share with you what worked as well as what didn\u2019t. We\u2019ll offer you guidance on how you either can set up a new program, or revise your current one, and immediately benefit from the lessons we\u2019ve learned over the past 20 years.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;When?&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1507123505711{padding-top: 20px !important;background-color: #ebebeb !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>On Thursday, November 9, 2017<\/h4>\n<h4>9:00 &#8211; 9:45<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9009&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Tyler Golden<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"mkdf-separator-holder clearfix  mkdf-separator-left \">\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-separator\" style=\"border-color: #356bf8;width: 125px;border-bottom-width: 4px;margin-top: 5%;margin-bottom: 7.3%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"http:\/\/www.evolvesummit.cz\/en\/team-member\/tyler-golden\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-color: #2C70B8\" class=\"mkdf-btn mkdf-btn-large mkdf-btn-solid\"  >\n    \t<span class=\"mkdf-btn-text\">Show me the profile<\/span>\n\t        <i class=\"mkdf-icon-font-awesome fa  \" ><\/i>\t<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1496760373065{padding-top: 2px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In this talk, we\u2019ll examine the keys to building and maintaining a successful employee referral program.
