Care Friends

Care Friends is the employee referral, reward and recognition app that was specifically designed for the social care sector by Neil Eastwood, author of Saving Social Care, and launched in partnership with Skills for Care in 2020.

Traditional referral programmes are underutilised because most are cumbersome to manage and often don’t pay the referral reward until the new employee finishes probation. Care Friends changes all that with an easy-to-use app and the use of micro-incentives: small rewards for each recruitment step their referral completes successfully.

The Care Friends platform includes a web-based portal for recruiters and managers and a mobile app which care employees use to refer contacts from their existing social networks to job vacancies in your organisation.

The app maximises the number of employee referrals from your team, by making ‘referring a friend’:

• easier
• more rewarding
• fun

Typically, the app increases the number of referrals you receive by 5x compared to traditional, non-digital referral schemes.
