WHY FRONTLINE REFERRALS MATTER

Make referrals effortless and rewarding

Your frontline employees know who will thrive in your workplace — but traditional referral programs aren’t designed with them in mind. They’re hard to access, track, and trust.

goHappy's Frontline Referrals solves all that. We make it easy for your employees to submit referrals through text or QR code, and keep them updated every step of the way — from referral to hire to payout. The result? Higher participation, better hires, and stronger retention.

Here’s why referrals work:

  • Referred employees stay longer and perform better.

  • You cut down on time-to-hire and reduce recruitment costs.

  • Employees feel more connected and valued when their voices matter in the hiring process.

BENEFITS FOR ADMINISTRATORS

A seamless experience for admins & recruiters

Managing referrals shouldn’t require spreadsheets or follow-ups across teams. With goHappy, you can automate every step of the process — and focus on hiring great people instead.

With Frontline Referrals, you can:

  • Launch referral campaigns in minutes — tailored by role, location, or timeframe.

  • Set flexible payout rules and timelines.

  • Track referral status and match hires automatically using phone numbers or name matching.

  • Get alerted when payouts are due, and automate eligibility checks with payroll.

  • Access detailed reporting on referral rates, hires, retention, and participation.

BENEFITS FOR FRONTLINE EMPLOYEES

A simple, trustworthy process drives participation

Frontline employees don’t want to download an app or log in to a portal — they just want to know their referral was received, matters, and will get paid.

goHappy makes it effortless for employees to:

  • Text a keyword like “REFER” or access via the Frontline Intranet to start a referral.

  • Share opportunities via text, QR code, or social media — no login needed.

  • Get notified when a referral applies, gets hired, or is close to payout.

  • See real-time updates so they always know where their referral stands.

Employees refer more when the process is simple, transparent, and built with their experience in mind.

What our customers have to say

“goHappy helped us achieve a 2.5x higher survey participation rate and we attribute that to how easy it was for our frontline team members to complete the survey on their mobile devices in just minutes.”

David Watts | VP of HR

“The goHappy team has been amazing. I love their personalities and always feel so excited when working with them. I love the product and ease of use. This is the product we've been looking for!”

Heather Petrone | Director of Marketing & Recruiting

“Prior to having goHappy, we would struggle trying to cover shifts. We had to go through store managers and were always told no one wanted to work. Since having goHappy, we can communicate directly with frontline employees. In most cases we have been able to fill open shifts within 30 minutes. This has been a wonderful investment.”

Chris Mathias | Manager of Operations

“goHappy has taken the paper out of communications, allowing me to directly connect with staff and provide important information in critical moments. Having the ability to provide reminders, notices, important company information, has been invaluable in my daily functions. The feedback that I receive from staff is that, they appreciate seeing it on their phone than trying to find the notices posted around the facility. Definitely a time saver!”

Felicia Winge | Plant Human Resources Manager
