Mike Andes pays his lawn-care technicians $3,000 for each referral who lasts 90 days, compared to $1,000-$2,000 spent on job boards and recruiting. Referrals already know the business and values through the employee who brought them in, so they tend to be better hires.
I offer $3,000 as a referral bonus to my lawn care technicians if they bring one of their friends on to work for us and they last 90 days. It costs us usually about $1,000 to $2,000 when you take into account Indeed ads, running marketing to get new applicants, as well as all the time it goes into the general manager just going through interviews and interviewing new applicants. I'd rather give that money to my technicians, but more importantly, That technician that they bring on, the person they refer, is likely the same caliber, the hard worker, and their friend that brings them on is the one that already kind of explains how the business works and how they can make more money and the core values of the business.
