The referrer should send the candidate’s information to B, should make an introduction to the candidate, and should expect to be engaged during the recruiting and interview process. The referring employee must still be employed by Clef during the hired candidate’s first 30 days of employment, and will be paid within 90 days of the referred employee’s first day.

We should also continue to look for other ways to offset this bias on an organizational level.
