Employee Referral Program

 

SPS Employee Referral Program 

 

Southbridge Public Schools is always looking for qualified people and you can help. Research has shown that new hires referred by existing employees are excellent contributors, stay with an organization longer and are more cost-effective recruits.

 

That's where you come in!  If you know someone who would be a good addition to Southbridge Public Schools, you may be awarded a referral bonus of $100.00 dollars (less taxes) if you refer a candidate who is hired.  Please refer to the district website for current vacancies - SPS Current vacancies

 

Employees may refer candidates to Human Resources through the employee referral program by accessing this form:  Employee Referral Program
