Employee Referral Program Procedures
Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning is always looking for good people, and you can help. Research has shown, and our own experience supports, that new hires who come into a company through employee referrals are excellent contributors, stay with the company longer and are more cost-effective recruits.
That’s where you come in! If you know someone who would be a good addition to Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning, you may be awarded a referral bonus of $1,000 for field employees with 2 years experience and $250 for all other positions (less taxes) if you refer a candidate and he or she is hired.
Employees must refer candidates to Human Resources by using the attached candidate referral form.
