Hi! I’m not sure if anyone else encountered the same issue. I enabled the Employee Referrals features and approved it on my homepage to show as a widget. However it’s not visible, neither for me or for my employees. 

Can anyone support? Many thanks!

Hi guys! Just checking in to see if this is still an issue!

It’s not an ‘issue’ as such, in that the instructions provided are clear that Admins are to add the link to the new Referrals form to the list of Shortcuts in the Shortcuts widget on the home page: https://support.personio.de/hc/en-us/articles/24725370605213-Set-up-employee-referrals

It’s more that the initial messaging around this feature made it sound like there would be a specific referrals widget that would appear on the home page once this feature was activated - which would be way better!

We were also super excited by this new feature when it became available yesterday… but also saw no widget appear.

The support guidance on this new feature appears to suggest that you have to just add the link to the referral form to your Shortcuts list on the Home page, which is somewhat less exciting! Also, as the last Shortcut added it’s right at the bottom of the list, and for some reason this is one of the few areas where you do not have the ability to re-order the items.

Maybe if someone from Personio could provide a definitive response on this it would be helpful?

I’m not directly involved with recruitment but I have a team member who checked out the new feature as well and she experienced the same issue.

Thanks ​@HRJoy for the suggestion about the shortcuts but you’re right, it would be great to have this a bit more prominently available. :-)

Fair point! I’ll share this note on that messaging with my colleagues. Thank you for this!
