Who can make a referral?

All full-time and part-time employees are eligible for referral bonuses. 

Please note: Regional/ Group Managers, GM’s and HR employees are not eligible for recruiting bonuses if the referral is hired in any of the stations you manage. Managers and Supervisors are not eligible for referral awards when referring a candidate into their own departments.

I have a friend who is a referral. Should I tell them to apply online?

No. The best way to tell your friend about our jobs is to submit a referral to/for them.  They will receive an email from the system inviting them to apply. If they are hired and eligible, you will receive a payout. You can also share any open job on social media and your friend can follow the link to apply there. 

 

Who can be referred?

Candidates are eligible to be referred to us provided they:

• Are not currently employed by Sinclair in any capacity, including all of the Company’s stations, subsidiaries, temporary workers or interns;

• Are not a previous employee of Sinclair, stations or subsidiaries

• Have not been referred by someone else within the last year; or

• Have not previously applied for a position at Sinclair within the last year

   

Will the person I referred be guaranteed an interview?

Unfortunately due to the volume of applicants, we cannot guarantee this. All applicants to Sinclair –regardless of the source – will be selected for interview based upon how well their experience, skills and education match the requirements of the position. To increase the likelihood of a successful referral, you should ensure that your referral possesses all of the requirements stated in the job posting.

 

What type of follow up can I or the referred candidate expect?

The referred candidate will receive an email that you found an opportunity that may be of interest to them. It lists the Job title and location of the job. The email notifies the referred candidate that they will need to officially apply for the position with a link to do so.

You will get an email confirmation when the candidate you referred completes an application.

 

When am I eligible to receive the referral award?

The referral reward will be made as a taxable, additional payment and will be included in your regular paycheck, after the referral has passed their initial introductory period.

You must be currently employed at the time payment is made in order to receive your referral bonus.
