Employee Referral Policy

What is the purpose of this policy?

4Consulting, inc. (hereinafter referred as ‘4Ci’) believes that you, because of your knowledge of the market and our needs, can help the company identify qualified, possibly hard-to-find candidates who could be outstanding additions to the current 4Ci Team. 4Ci  will reward you for referring people that we subsequently hire.

Does this policy apply to me?

Yes. All employees may refer a candidate for possible employment at 4Ci.

Am I eligible to receive a reward for successful referral?

If you are Director level or above or if you are part of Human Resources Department or Strategic Sourcing Group, you are not eligible to receive a reward, since identifying good candidates is one of your responsibilities. If you are a full-time employee below the level of Director, you are eligible to receive a reward unless the position to be filled reports directly to you.

How do I make a referral

Identify the candidate to HR. Do this regardless of whether there is a current opening. If you have a resume or other information, provide that to HR as well.

If you are eligible to receive a reward, complete an Employee Referral Form. You can get the form from HR. Submit the form right away, with the candidate’s resume, before HR interviews the candidate.

Ask the candidate to put your name on his/her job application in the space for “Referral Source.”

How do I receive a reward for the referral?

Your must be eligible (discussed above) and have submitted the Employee Referral Form with the candidate’s resume, prior to 4Ci having had any contact with the candidate.

4Ci must hire the candidate within 90 days of your referral.

The referred employee must successfully complete the introductory employment period. This must be documented for HR by the employee’s manager through the standard process used to conclude the 120-day introductory period for new hires.

Both you and the referred employee must be employed with 4Ci on the day of pay-out.

How much is the reward?

In general, the following amounts apply. 4Ci will not pay a referral bonus on former or current 4Ci employees or on consultants. In the event that more than one 4Ci employee refers the candidate in question, the reward will go to the first person who made the referral. On occasion, HR and the President may decide to vary the reward amount depending on the urgency of 4Ci hiring needs and the condition of the job market.

$750 if the candidate is hired as a Vice President or Director

$750 if hired as a Manager

$750 if hired as Professional Exempt

$750 if hired as Regular Full-time Nonexempt

$750 if hired as Regular Part-time

$ 250 for referring a candidate that is hired by 4Ci.
