Fashion E-commerce: 250% Increase in Referral Hiring and 350% Candidate Database Growth — RippleHire

How Myntra-Jabong increased referral hiring by 250% using RippleHire's gamified employee referral platform.

Myntra-Jabong was managing its employee referral program through a shared mailbox and spreadsheets, resulting in low employee engagement and no scalable way to track or motivate referrals. RippleHire was deployed in two weeks, giving recruiters a centralized platform to post jobs and manage candidate records. The results were a 350% growth in the candidate database, 250% increase in employee engagement, and 300% increase in offer rollouts and joiners.

Myntra-Jabong is one of the leading players in the Indian e-commerce space. They provide hassle free and enjoyable shopping experience to shoppers across the country with the widest range of brands and products on its portal. Propelled by rising smartphone penetration, 4G and 5G networks, the online retail space in India is expected to grow manifold in the coming years. Sustaining a brand in this competition calls for better market insights and hence, the need for top notch professionals in areas of technology, product and retail.

Challenges

Earlier, the employee engagement and data around it was typically handled via mailbox forcing recruiters to maintain the candidate attributes in an online spreadsheet. While this approach was fine to start with, it posed challenges in terms of scalability as the organization was expanding. They needed a robust platform to address the following issues.

  • Cumbersome to maintain the entire referral programme in an excel sheet
  • Employee engagement was very low
  • Send manual emails on referral updates to keep the employees motivated

Both the teams worked synchronously to complete the migration of data, configuration of stages, email templates, recruiter training and equally important – sign off from the IT team in about 2 weeks. With RH’s cloud-based referral platform recruiters were able to post jobs and view candidate records from a centralized location.
