Recommendations Incentive Scheme
The recommendations scheme gives individuals the opportunity to earn a referral bonus of up to £1,250, simply by providing Quest Project Personnel with a qualifying candidate. For more details see below.
Objective
We believe that personal recommendations are the ultimate method of ensuring that we build and maintain a quality database of candidates from which to operate a high quality service.
It is very important that both the recommender and Quest derive benefit from the scheme and that the scheme is completely transparent to all involved.
All recommendations will be managed on a confidential basis. This enables a recommender to recommend someone that is not known to them personally.
The Scheme
A recommendation will be defined as follows;
Providing the Name, Discipline and Company Name or Contact Number of an individual via one of the following contact methods;
| Web: | http://www.quest-recruiting.com/ |
| Telephone: | +44 (0) 870 300 1880 |
Incentive Scheme Details
Quest shall endeavour to make contact with the individual recommended within 2 working days of the recommendation to obtain additional information. We will then search the Quest database to determine if the candidate recommended is already registered on the database.
The recommender will receive an email response from Quest confirming the status of their recommendation.
Status 1
Candidate not on the database and previously unknown to Quest.
Qualifies for full incentive
Status 2
Candidate on the Quest database or previously recommended to Quest by someone else.
Does not qualify for incentive
A recommendation will be considered complete and an effective date of recommendation confirmed when the CV is received electronically by Quest.
