Referral Process

 

If you would like to submit a candidate for one of our posted openings do the following:

 

á      Review closely the job description, company name, salary range and mandatory candidate experience.

á      Verify candidate is a perfect fit based on the job description. Do not refer someone who does not meet ALL the requirements. 

á      Contact the candidate and confirm verbally or via email they are qualified for the job, interested in formally applying and have not previously applied directly to the end client or indirectly through another recruiter. If they have applied in the last 12 months to the client we do not want the referral, as we are not compensated if they are hired and we will not be able to compensate you either.

á      The client name is usually listed on the application form shown after you click on the ÒApply for this positionÓ button associated with each job. The question is usually in the format ÒHave you previously applied directly to ÉÓ

á      Confirm candidate accepts the listed salary range. If the salary range is not listed email us at: jobs@nc-inc.com and we will provide it.

á      Only after you have confirmed the candidate is a perfect fit, they are interested and accept the salary range and are aware you are providing a referral to Net-Consultants then email their short bio without identifying info to jobs@nc-inc.com. One of our recruiters will contact you within 24 hours to request their full resume with contact information if they wish to proceed with an interview.

á      Do not email any bios of candidates you have not reviewed the position with.

á      We then contact the candidate directly and initiate the interview process. At this point your role is complete.

á      If your referral is hired by our client we will split the placement fee and mail you a check after 90 days of employment. (if they remain employed for all 90 days).

á      If you are an individual; annually we mail you a 1099 form that is also reported to the IRS.

 

If you have any questions about a specific job posted or the referral process please send an email to jobs@nc-inc.com and one of our recruiters will provide you a response.
