Employee Referral Program

Referring employees will receive a copy of their referral response as a confirmation after submitting their referral. If you have not received a copy of the referral response, please resubmit your referral.

Referrals will remain active for 12 months after the submission of the qualified referral. If the candidate is not qualified upon the submission of the referral the referral will not remain active. 

We prefer that you submit the referral prior to your candidate submitting their application online. That being said, we understand that a candidate may apply before you have a chance to submit your referral so we will accept referrals that are time-stamped within 2 days of the receipt of their application. 

No, candidates must apply through the Stafford Schools application portal to qualify you for the referral incentive. 

The referral stipend is provided to the first person who submits the referral. Referral stipends can not be shared between two employees. Referring employees will not be informed of a duplicate referral. 

Human resources respect the confidentiality of employee and applicant information. As such, we are not able to provide updates regarding the status of any candidate. Employees should NOT reach out to verify the status of their candidate. A representative of Human Resources will reach out to the referring employee upon the successful hire of a candidate to let them know that they have qualified for the referral stipend. 

While we appreciate the continued support of Stafford Schools recruitment methods, not all candidates who are referred to employment with our district are considered a qualified candidate. Stafford Schools considers many factors in the hiring process, and it is unfortunate that not all candidates will meet all required qualifications. Please continue to refer candidates to our district to be eligible for additional stipend opportunities.

Absolutely! Please refer as many qualified candidates as possible. At this time there is not a cap on the number of referrals one can make or the incentive one can earn from qualified referrals.
