Strapi referral policy

Why does Strapi have a referral policy?

• Qualitative Hiring: Employee referrals are one of the the most effective method of hiring because employees who make referrals are already familiar with the organizational culture. They recommend individuals more likely aligned with the organization both professionally and culturally. They also have the freedom to select someone they hold in high regard and appreciate working with.
• Statistically, referrals are the #1 source of great candidates (candidates that are motivated and have better chances rates to be hired for the role- Forbes).
• Increase hiring speed: Employee referral speeds up hiring as it saves recruiters time spent hunting/ sourcing and sharing information about the position to a new candidate.
• Strapiers ownership and impact: Strapiers are actively and positively contributing to Strapi's growth.
• Cost-effective: the best way to reduce costs spent in employee hiring is through an internal source.

Who can participate in our employee referral program?

• The founding team (@Pierre Burgy, @Aurélien GEORGET, @Jim Laurie)
• Recruiters and hiring managers for positions for which they’re hiring. Note: They can’t refer anyone for a position for which they are directly or indirectly responsible. But, they can refer someone for a position that’s in a different department. This exception doesn’t apply to the founding team.

What's a referral? Who can be referred?

• A qualified candidate who you know from your personal or professional network.
• An applicant with the right skill set, who meets the position's requirements.
• Someone you trust and would like to work with.
• A person with whom you have already spoken about the specific position(s) to ensure that s.he is motivated for the role at Strapi.

• Candidates should not already be in our active (currently in process or on "snooze" in Lever) candidate database.
• The candidate is hired as permanent full-time employees (not as temporary employees or contractors or interns) and finishes their trial period (4 months).

How?

Additional rules for rewards:

• We guarantee that rewards will be paid out within a month after the trial period date we hired a candidate.
• There is no cap on the number of referrals an employee can make. All rewards will be paid accordingly.
• If two or more employees refer the same candidate, only the first referrer will receive their referral rewards.
• Referrers are still eligible for rewards even if a candidate is hired later or hired for another position.
