goHappy Launches Frontline Referrals to Improve Hourly Hiring

May 29, 2025
Event
goHappy, the leading engagement solution for frontline workers, announced the launch of Frontline Referrals, a new product designed to transform how organizations recruit hourly employees by tapping into their existing workforce as a valuable talent pipeline. Frontline Referrals provides a simple, app-free solution that empowers frontline employees to easily refer friends, family, and former coworkers, while giving employers the tools they need to track, manage, and reward successful hires automatically. The result is faster hiring, lower recruitment costs, and more engaged teams. "Referrals have always been one of the most effective hiring channels, especially in hourly industries," said Shawn Boyer, Founder and CEO of goHappy. "But most referral programs are built for desk workers, not the frontline. We built Frontline Referrals to be radically simple. No logins, no apps, just a fast and transparent way to refer great people and get rewarded." HR Technology Insights: Vivantio Launches FLEXGrid Workspaces Designed with both frontline workers and HR teams in mind, Frontline Referrals streamlines every step of the process with:
  • Easy Access for Employees: Participate via text message, QR code, social media, or the goHappy Frontline Intranet — no app or login required.
  • Automated Campaign Management: Admins can configure payouts, expiration dates, and campaign rules by role or location.
  • Real-Time Transparency: Employees have visibility into every key milestone including when their referral applies, gets hired, and approaches payout.
  • Smart Tracking & Matching: Advanced logic matches referrals to hires using phone numbers and name similarity, reducing manual review.
  • Built-In Payroll Integration: Automates payout eligibility and alerts admins when payments are due.
  • Actionable Analytics: Track participation rates, hire success, and retention data to optimize campaigns.
