Frequently asked questions
Find answers to your most common referral questions.
An eligible candidate is someone who has not worked for Maximus as an employee within the past 24 months and has not been engaged through a temporary agency or as a contractor within the past 180 days. The individual must be hired into a regular full-time or part-time position. Employees with the job title of vice president or above, human resources and recruiting staff, those who have hiring authority, interns, agency hires, or are in a temporary position are not eligible for the program.
For a referral bonus to be paid, the referred employee must still be employed with Maximus at the time the payment is issued. In addition, the referred employee must successfully complete at least ninety days of employment. The program does not apply in situations where a search firm or agency fee is involved. All referral bonuses are issued through payroll and are subject to applicable taxes and withholdings.
