Employee Referral Program

In an effort to find qualified candidates to fill position vacancies, The University of Memphis will pay a referral fee to employees who refer a friend, family member or professional associate who is subsequently hired by the University and completes three months of service. The referral fee for most jobs will be $100.00; if the referral fee is more for a specific job, it will be noted on the Job Opening Announcement.

Guidelines
The referred candidate must apply for an announced position opening and comply with all application procedures/processes established by Human Resources.

The University employee making the referral must complete the applicant referral form prior to or at the same time the referred candidate submits the application for employment. In addition, the referred candidate must indicate the name of the current employee who referred him/her on the electronic employment application submitted via workForum. 

Any person currently on the University payroll CANNOT be a referred candidate.

All regular University employees below the Dean/Director level are eligible to participate in the program. To receive the referral fee payment, an employee must be on the University payroll. 

Employees who are directly responsible for making hiring decisions on their own referred candidates are ineligible to receive referral fee payments.
