Facilities Planning and Management has launched a referral bonus program to support the recruitment of maintenance mechanics in a competitive labor market.
Under the program, full-time Marquette employees who refer qualified candidates for maintenance mechanic positions may be eligible for a $1,000 referral bonus if the candidate is hired and successfully completes six months of employment with the university. Referral bonuses will be available for the first 10 eligible hires and will be paid after the new employee reaches the six-month employment milestone.
To be eligible for the referral bonus, employees must meet the following requirements:
- The referrer must be a full-time Marquette employee and may not be a hiring manager, supervisor or anyone with influence over the hiring decision.
- Referred candidates must be new to Marquette University and may not be former employees, former temporary employees or applicants who are currently being considered in an active search.
- Candidates must identify the employee who referred them at the time they submit their application.
- Employees who refer a candidate must be actively employed by Marquette when the bonus is paid.
- If a candidate lists more than one referring employee, the bonus will be divided equally among those employees.
- Referral bonuses are subject to applicable tax withholdings and will be paid through the normal payroll process.
Employees interested in referring a candidate are encouraged to share information about open maintenance mechanic positions with qualified individuals in their networks (search “maintenance mechanic” in the keywords box).
