dexta ReferEmployee referrals

Employee referrals, with bonuses paid through payroll.

Staff refer people they know; recruiters move them through nine stages; and the bonus pays itself when the hire stays.

01

Refer in a minute

Name, contact, role and a résumé, with a duplicate check so the same candidate isn't referred twice.

02

Straight into hiring

Shortlisted candidates move into Dexta HR's hiring pipeline, and their stage follows from there.

03

Bonuses that follow the hire

A flat amount or one per role level, due after a waiting period (90 days by default), and cancelled if the hire leaves early.

04

Paid in the next payroll

A due bonus goes to Dexta Pay as a one-off earning, and its status shows back in Refer.

Who uses it

Everything in Dexta Refer

16 features that work today.

Listed from the product itself. Where a feature needs an account with an outside provider, it says so.

Referring

  • Refer a candidate

    Enter name, email, phone, role, location and skills, and attach a resume (PDF or Word).

  • Duplicate check

    The same candidate email cannot be referred twice while a referral is active.

  • Track my referrals

    Shows each referral's stage and its bonus status.

  • Correct or withdraw

    The referrer fixes details or withdraws before review.

Handling referrals

  • All referrals

    TA sees every referral, filters by stage, moves the stage and downloads resumes.

  • Nine stages

    Submitted, in review, shortlisted, interviewing, offered, not selected, hired, withdrawn, did not join.

  • Hand-off to Dexta HRWith Dexta HR (otherwise stages stay in Refer)

    On "in review" the candidate is sent to HR's hiring pipeline, and the stage then follows HR. Failed sends retry for up to 12 tries.

  • Under-18 flag

    Flags candidates under 18 for guardian consent.

  • Hire linked to Hub

    The hire is matched to their Hub account, so the joining and leaving dates follow automatically.

Referral bonuses

  • Bonus policy

    A flat amount, or an amount per role level, paid after a waiting period (90 days by default).

  • Bonus follows the hire

    The bonus is recorded on hire and falls due after the waiting period. It is cancelled if the hire leaves early and restored if the exit is withdrawn.

  • Paid through payroll

    A due bonus goes to Dexta Pay as a one-off earning, and its Pay status shows in Refer. Without Pay, it is marked paid by hand.

  • Bonus board

    Send, resend, refresh, cancel or mark paid. An admin can never act on their own referral's bonus.

  • Notifications

    The referrer and admins hear about stage and bonus changes through the bell and email.

Data protection

  • Candidate erasure on schedule

    Candidates who were not hired are erased on the company's retention schedule from the Hub, leaving "Candidate (erased)".

  • See my data and export

    Answers the Hub's data requests and the full export.
