Refer a Friend Scheme

Refer a Friend Scheme

If you have a friend or relative who would be right for any of the roles advertised on our careers website, and is interested in joining our team, just email a member of the recruitment team with the name of the individual, and the geographic location and business area (discipline) for which the candidate is being introduced. You should then ask your friend or relative to visit www.cundall.com/careers (after you have informed Cundall) to apply for the relevant vacancy. The candidate should also indicate in their application that they have been referred by you to apply.

Should your friend/relative be successful in being offered and accepting a role on a permanent basis, on their completion of six months’ continuous service, you will receive a bonus payment (subject to tax and national insurance) with your salary, in line with the schemes set out below.

You can refer friends to any job in the company – but currently this scheme applies to introductions made by staff in respect of positions within the UK business. Arrangements for referral bonuses in other offices may vary, and details of locally applicable schemes (if any) are available from Partners / Directors in each location.

Make sure you follow this process when you make your referral. Also, remember that you need to refer a friend to a specific job; it can’t be a general referral of the friend to Cundall.
