Job Posting and Employee Referrals Spelman also encourages employees to identify friends or acquaintances interested in employment opportunities. Candidates should be referred to the Office of Human Resources or encouraged to view our current job openings. Employees should obtain permission from the individual before making a referral, share their knowledge of the College and not make commitments or oral promises of employment. An employee should submit the referral's resume and/or completed application form to the Human Resources Department for a posted job. If the referral is interviewed, the referring employee will be notified if their referral candidate is selected. Employee referrals are good for a period of six months. If a referral is hired within 6 months of date of application, Spelman will pay a $100 referral bonus to the referring employee once the new employee successfully completes the 90-day introductory period as a regular employee. This referral bonus does not apply in instances where the applicant is being referred by someone the applicant will ultimately report to, if hired. In addition, Office of Human Resources staff are not eligible to receive employee referral bonuses. Policy No.  116  Effective Date:  9/1/2000
