Internal Announcements
How to Invite Employees
Announcing Intrro during a company All-Hands can be a great way to get everyone interested.
Immediately after the meeting, have someone from the C-suite send out the initial email to the company.
Companies that have vocal management support get 2 - 4x the return and participation in hiring activities than those that don't.
Your Goal: 70 - 80% participation within 14 days of initial invite!
Suggested Invitation Templates - keep it short and simple
Hi Team,
Thanks to your hard work, we are growing. As we discussed today, we want to keep hiring the best. Your referrals often make the best hires, but we’re all too busy to actively search through our network every time a new position opens.
So we’ve invested in a tool Intrro: Intrro.com
To help out, all you need is 30 seconds to:
- Go to app.intrro.com/signup
- Signup with your work Slack account
- Connect your LinkedIn network
You’ll see matches in your network for open jobs, you’ll be contacted by the recruiting team giving you the option to make the referral/introduction and get the referral bonus if they’re hired, or let us know we should reach out instead.
Thanks,
Name
Note: Intrro will never contact anyone or do anything without your permission. Intrro accesses only names and contact info from the sources you explicitly opt-in to provide, for the sole purpose of matching your contacts to open positions and enabling you to make the referral if you agree. No messages to your contacts or posts to your social, will ever be made without you having the opportunity to edit the message and explicitly hit Send.

Employee Onboarding Best Practices
It's easy to get everyone at your company onboarded with Intrro.
Prior to launch, be sure to check out our pre-rollout checklist.
What's the best way to launch?
Depending on the culture of the company, we recommend the following as best practices.
- Provide an introduction to Intrro at your company all-hands. Intrro has created a short online deck, which can be customized, with a link to an employee FAQ
- Include instructions and a link to the Intrro’s website, with information on what Intrro is and why the company relies on it for referral based hiring. For a quick overview of how Intrro works, click here.
- Have the c-suite send out an email to have everyone sign up and connect. Suggested text provided by Customer Success and customized for your company. Since Intrro uses Slack, it's easy for everyone at the company to create an account.
- Consider holding an onboarding raffle or hosting sourcing sessions
Create sense of urgency and excitement by holding a company raffle
Company raffles are an added incentive to create excitement during the launch of your referral program. Studies have shown that the average person has at least 25-100 great people in their network that could positively impact company hiring--and some have many more!
One way to encourage and reward employee participation in Intrro, is by holding a company or department wide raffle. These are especially useful during the first month of launch when you're trying to introduce Intrro and incentivize your employees for their participation.
You can customize the raffle eligibility criteria to meet your specific referral and hiring goals.
Sending just one message a week is usually all it takes to get all of your employees to participate.
