Turn employee referrals into tracked hires and paid rewards
Employee Referral Program connects every referral to your Odoo Recruitment pipeline, calculates cash bonuses and reward points automatically, and gives referrers a self-service portal to follow their candidate from submission to payment.
The problem
Referrals disappear into inboxes and chat threads. HR has no shared record of who referred whom, no visibility into whether a candidate ever got interviewed, and no reliable way to calculate or pay the bonus that was promised — so the program quietly dies while employees stop bothering to refer.
The solution
Employee Referral Program gives every referral a visible pipeline from submission to payment, automatically calculates cash bonuses or reward points against configurable rules, routes bonus approval through recruitment and accounting with an audit trail, and lets referrers track their own candidates and rewards from a self-service portal.
Everything a referral program needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Referral submission with CV upload
Employees submit a referral for a specific open job position with the candidate's CV attached, so every submission starts tied to a real position and a real candidate.
Visual pipeline from submission to payment
A kanban board and stage-decorated list track each referral through submitted, application, interview, contract, hired, bonus approved, and paid, so status is obvious at a glance instead of buried in email.
Recruitment workflow integration
Recruitment officers convert a referral into a job application and, on a successful hire, into an employee record, closing the loop between referral and actual hire without leaving Odoo.
Cash bonus or reward points, per job
Reward rules define a bonus amount and/or reward points per job position, so compensation can be tailored per role instead of forced into a single flat payout.
Bonus approval, vendor bill, and payment
A bonus moves through approval, vendor bill creation, posting, and payment registration with a full audit trail, giving finance the proof it needs before money moves.
Reward points ledger and redemption
Earned, redeemed, and adjusted points are tracked in a running ledger; employees request redemptions that move through an approve-and-fulfil flow.
Points leaderboard
A leaderboard pivot ranks employees by reward points earned, turning the incentive into a visible, ongoing source of motivation.
Referrer self-service portal
Referring employees see their referrals, candidate progress, and point balance in a dedicated portal, no more emailing HR to ask what happened.
Milestone notifications and escalation
Referrers get emailed when their referral becomes an application, gets hired, and when the reward is processed, while a daily automated check escalates any bonus approval that has stalled.
How it works
Employee refers a candidate
An employee submits a referral for an open job position with the candidate's CV attached.
Recruitment reviews and advances
A recruitment officer reviews the referral, creates the job application, and moves it through interview, contract, and hire.
Reward is calculated automatically
On hire, the configured reward rule calculates the cash bonus and/or reward points for the position.
Bonus is approved and paid
The bonus is approved, billed, and paid with a full audit trail, while the referrer tracks every step from their portal.

No. This app is built for a structured, recruitment-officer-driven workflow with cash bonuses, points, and a portal; Odoo's native Referrals module remains available for gamified public job sharing. The two can run side by side.
