Programs in which employees recommend new hires are called Mitarbeiter werben Mitarbeiter, employees recruit employees. The manufacturer Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen pays 1,500 euros gross for most successful recommendations, according to its rules of March 2024. The same rules state: Es gilt zu beachten, dass eine Empfehlung keine Garantie für ein Interview bzw. eine Einstellung ist. It must be noted that a recommendation is no guarantee of an interview or a job. Applicants without a recommendation have die gleichen Chancen wie empfohlene Bewerber, the same chances as recommended applicants. The manager who makes the hire cannot receive the bonus.
