Associates currently employed at PK USA and people they refer to the company for employment will be rewarded with “robust incremental fees” during a 12 month period, according to a press release provided by the company.
Referrals (meaning the new employees) and the current employee who referred them will receive a $1,000 referral fee after three months, followed by a retention fee of $2,000 after six months. After 12 months, they will receive an anniversary fee for a total of $5,000 paid to both the current associate and the new associate.
“One of our most valuable assets at PK USA is our current associate base,” President Peter Sandstrom in the press release. “They can put their connections to good use by referring friends and family to become gainfully employed at PK and arn extra rewards for doing so."
Vice President of Corporate Relations Bill Kent also commented on the referral program.
“Like most corporations in Shelby County, we’ve had challenges finding associates to fill our manufacturing needs, and after some brainstorming, it was determined we have great recruitment channels right here in our own company,” he said. “There’s no better way to hire than with referrals from our own associates. They know friends and family that would fit in to our PK U.S.A. environment.”
Current PK USA associates will be allowed to refer as many people as they wish to any open positions. Interviews will be conducted as usual, and normal recruitment activities will remain the same, according to the company.
All job openings in the company are included in the opportunity. Associates will be encouraged to check in with Human Resources every week to review the open positions that are available.
The initiative will begin on Monday.
