Companies facing a serious talent shortage and struggling to get enough qualified applicants for their openings resort to  throwing serious cash at job boards and recruiters in hopes of finding someone. But in the search for quality applicants, the data is clear: referrals are number one. Partners, present and past employees, vendors, friends, family, and even customers can all be advocates for you--but only if you motivate and make it easy for them.
