Companies spend a lot of time and money advertising their job openings, and they want to hear what methods attract applicants. They also want to know if a current employee referred you, as some companies place more emphasis on hiring candidates who their employees refer. Some companies have an employee referral program to pay their employees a referral fee when a candidate they refer is hired. If you heard about the position from one of their employees, be sure to name the employee in your response.
