Vouch takes several approaches to ensure the quality of recommended candidates:

Network-based referrals

Vouch leverages personal and professional networks for recommendations. This approach tends to produce higher-quality candidates, as people are more likely to refer individuals they know and trust professionally.

Reward system

By offering monetary rewards for successful hires, Vouch incentivizes referrers to recommend only qualified candidates who are genuinely interested in the position. Rewards are typically paid out after the candidate has been employed for a certain period, encouraging referrers to consider long-term fit.

Detailed job descriptions

Vouch encourages employers to provide comprehensive job descriptions, making it easier for referrers to understand the requirements and recommend suitable candidates.

Confirmation of interest

Vouch ensures that recommended candidates have confirmed their interest in the position before their information is passed on to the employer. This helps filter out passive or uninterested candidates.

Employer evaluation

The platform allows employers to evaluate recommended candidates and decide whether to proceed with them. This gives employers control over the quality of candidates they engage with.

Diverse network

By tapping into both the company's network (employees, investors, alumni) and Vouch's growing network, the platform increases the chances of finding high-quality candidates from various sources.

Targeted approach

Vouch focuses on reaching the 70% of employees who are open to changing jobs but not actively looking. This approach targets passive candidates who are often high-quality professionals in their current roles.

While Vouch provides these mechanisms to enhance candidate quality, it's important to note that the final assessment and hiring decision still rests with the employer. The platform serves as a tool to connect employers with potential candidates through trusted networks, but employers should still conduct their usual vetting and interview processes to ensure the best fit for their organization.
