Turning Connections Into Careers: A Closer Look at the Employee Referral Program

One of the best ways to find top-tier talent is through our employees. Our Employee Referral Program was designed to reward you for helping bring great people into our organization. Whether it’s a former coworker, a friend, or someone in your network, referring quality candidates helps strengthen our team and allows you to earn a bonus while doing it!

What is the Employee Referral Program?

The Employee Referral Program is an internal initiative that allows current Rehab Medical employees to recommend job candidates for open roles across the company. If your referral is hired and completes a defined period of employment, you receive a cash referral bonus as a thank you for helping us find the right fit.

The referral program has real noteworthy benefits:

• Cash Bonuses: You receive a bonus if your referral is hired and meets the minimum tenure requirements.

• Stronger Teams: You get to work with people who align with our culture and values and who can warrant trust and enjoy being around.

• Overall Success: When great people join the team, we all benefit from stronger performance, better service, and a more supportive work environment.

It’s not just about bonuses. It’s about creating a positive workplace culture. Lela Ann-Kemp, who has produced four referrals, explained, “I really like the referral program here because it is an incentive to bring on more people and also shows that we have an environment that people want to bring more people into! We are making a difference in people’s lives daily, and the culture here is not like any other I have experienced!”

This positive impact came full circle for Carolina Retamoza, who Lela referred:

“I was already in the process of looking for a job and had no idea where to go outside of the industry I was currently in. Lela-Ann spoke very highly of Rehab Medical and was able to find a good entry position for me. Hearing about her growth in the company was inspiring and made me want to try and take a similar path.”

She added, “I think it gives incentive for people to bring in people they know and kind of have some control of the environment and culture of the office.”

How Does It Work?

• Who Can Refer? 

  • All Rehab Medical employees (except those directly involved in the hiring process for the referred position) are eligible to participate in the program.

• What Are the Requirements? 

  • The referred candidate must be hired into a full-time role and stay employed for a specified period (90 days/120 days). Once that milestone is reached, the referring employee becomes eligible for a referral bonus.

• When Is the Bonus Paid Out? 

  • Once the referral meets the retention requirement, the bonus is processed and paid out in a future paycheck.

Our Talent Acquisition team works hard to fill roles with the right people, and employee referrals have consistently been one of the most effective ways to do that. When someone joins our team through a referral, they’re more likely to understand and embrace our culture and make an impact.
