HR seeks referrals from employees
Human Resources wants you! Princeton University is looking for qualified office support staff and janitors to fill its ranks. But in a tight job market, finding the best is not always easy. That's why the Office of Human Resources has turned to its employees for help in finding potential new staff members.
A referral program launched June 1 is paying University employees $250 for identifying qualified office support and janitorial job candidates that Princeton then hires.
"People who work at Princeton usually know who would work out well here because they understand the high standards the University sets for its staff and who can contribute at that level," said Lynn Manka, director of organization development, employment and services in the Office of Human Resources.
"Also, when current employees talk about their jobs, they are in effect promoting Princeton as a good place to work," she added.
Since the program began, 90 candidates have been referred to the Office of Human Resources. Of those candidates, five have been offered positions throughout campus. If those new hires stay employed at the University for at least six months, the employees who made the referrals will each earn $250 pre-tax as a sort of "finder's fee."
The current program expires June 30, 2001. Manka said if the program is a success, it could continue with larger awards and expanded job categories.
Referral forms and additional information can be obtained from the Office of Human Resources in Clio Hall or downloaded from <http://www.princeton.edu/hr/emp/referral.pdf>.
