ABOUT THE PROGRAM

• What is the objective of the UHealth Employee Referral Bonus Program?

  UHealth wants to hire the best talent in the market – individuals who are qualified, dedicated professionals who love what they do. As a member of our UM team, you know what it takes to be a ‘CANE and are therefore our best sourcing tool. The program thus aims to reward you when you refer a qualified candidate who aligns with our culture and values and who is selected to fill an available position. By actively engaging in the recruitment process, you can not only help us to quickly close our staffing gaps but also ensure that your fellow ‘CANES meet our collective standards.

• When did the program start?

  The program has been in effect since April 1, 2022.

• How does the program work?

  You do not have to apply to be in the program – all University of Miami employees are automatically included, with the exception of Human Resources staff, hiring managers for the referred position, managers that are in the interview panel, and director-level and above employees.

  All full-time and part-time UHealth positions are eligible for a referral bonus. The referred employee can either use the unique link that identifies you as the referring employee (FAQ#2) or they can list your name in their initial Workday application under the section marked “How Did You Hear About Us? – Employee” (see screenshot below). Without this information you will not be eligible to receive your referral bonus.

  

  The referred employee must then be successfully hired into the same position you referred them to and complete one pay cycle.

MAKE A REFERRAL

• How do I refer a candidate?

  To refer a candidate for a UHealth position, log in to Workday and select MENU in the top left corner. Select the Career app, then select Find Jobs to Refer. Search for and select the position for which you want to refer a candidate. On the lower right of the screen, select the appropriate icon to share this posting via LinkedIn, email, Twitter, or Facebook.

  

  Workday will generate a unique link that identifies you as the referring employee, which you can share on social media or send via email. When Candidates click on this link, they will be directed to the selected job posting on the University of Miami’s external Career website.

  You do not have to apply to be in the program – all University of Miami employees are automatically included, with the exception of Human Resources staff, hiring managers for the referred position, managers that are in the interview panel, and director-level and above employees.

  All full-time and part-time UHealth positions are eligible for a referral bonus. The referred employee can either use the unique link that identifies you as the referring employee (mentioned above) or they can list your name in their initial Workday application under the section marked “How Did You Hear About Us? – Employee” (see screenshot below). Without this information you will not be eligible to receive your referral bonus.

  

  The referred employee must then be successfully hired into the same position you referred them to and complete one pay cycle.

• I did not know about the program, and my referral did not list my UM email in Workday. What do I do?

  Unfortunately, an employee will only be eligible for the UHealth Employee Referral Program if the candidate clicks on the unique shared link provided by the employee or enters the employee’s UM email in their initial Workday application (see FAQ above for details).

• How many referrals can I make per month?

  There is no limit to the number of referrals you can make. The more you make, the more you can earn. 

ELIGIBILITY

• My candidate was referred by myself and another University employee for the same position. Do we both receive the referral bonus?

  Only one referring employee is officially listed in Workday, based on whose unique shared link the candidate selected. This employee will receive the referral bonus.

• What about the referrals made before the start date? Do they count?

  No, only referrals made from April 1, 2022, and after will be eligible for the bonus.

• Can I make a referral for any position?

  All full-time and part-time UHealth open positions are eligible for a referral bonus. e.g. “Registered Nurse 2 U”, “MRI Technologist 1”, “Sr. Respiratory Therapist”, “Faculty at MSOM” etc. 

  Positions that are not eligible:

  Per Diem, Temporary, Seasonal, Intermittent, Voluntary, Intern, Fellow, Student, Predoctoral Scholar, Post-doctoral Scholar and Resident (except RN Residency Program).

  • Employees that participate in the interview panel for the referred position; and
  • Director-level and above employees.
  • Employees that receive the UHIT Referral Bonus

• Can I refer someone from my family?

INFORMATION FOR MANAGERS

• What is the role of the hiring manager in the referral bonus process?

  The hiring manager will be responsible for attesting to the following question in Workday, "Did the employee participate in the interview panel?"

Please note, if the referring employee participates in the interview panel, they are not eligible to receive the referral bonus.
