Employee Referral Program for Open Positions in IS&T
Thursday, May 30th, 2019
In our efforts to build the strongest team within Boston University Information Services & Technology, we are introducing an Employee Referral Program, looking to the BU faculty and staff community to assist in recruiting qualified individuals into designated open positions on our IS&T team. This program will start on May 14, 2019.
If you refer a candidate who is hired into one of the designated positions and this person successfully completes three (3) months of employment, you will receive a $1,500 Referral Bonus in two payments.
How will I know if a position is eligible for the Employee Referral Program?
- All current BU openings can be found on the BU Careers website.
- Eligible positions will be marked with an “/ist” at the end of the job code.
- To find all eligible jobs, simply search for “/ist” in the search term box.
Who is eligible to refer a candidate?
- Current full-time and part-time Boston University faculty and staff who are NOT the hiring managers for the positions to which they are referring candidates.
Who is eligible to be referred?
- Candidates who are not currently employed by Boston University.
- Candidates who were not employed by Boston University within the past 12 months.
- Candidates who are not currently employed in the Terrier Temps program or currently employed as temporary employees through direct hire.
How do I refer a candidate?
- Send an email to istreferrals@bu.edu with the candidate’s name.
- The referral must be received by Human Resources PRIOR to the candidate being contacted for an interview.
When is the referral bonus paid?
- Payment will be included in your regular paycheck as a taxable, additional payment.
- You may refer and receive bonuses for multiple candidates.
- The referral bonus will be paid out in two installments*:
- The first installment of $500 will be paid effective on the candidate’s date of hire.**
- The second installment of $1,000 will be paid upon the referred candidate’s successful completion of 90 business days of employment from the referred employee’s date of hire.
* In order to receive the first installment of $500, you must be employed by the University when the payment is to be made.
**To note: An employee who is still on their initial new-hire probationary period will be paid $500 upon successful completion of their 90-day probationary period.
We thank you in advance for your efforts to help us identify new candidates to join BU IS&T! If you have any questions regarding the referral program, please email istreferrals@bu.edu.
