Michigan Medicine wants your help in hiring the leaders and best to join our team. In the spirit of our core value teamwork, employees can help the organization identify and hire quality candidates for available high-demand positions. The employee referral program is designed to increase the number of candidates for specific high-demand positions experiencing critically short staffing, while rewarding current employees with an up to $1,500 bonus for referring their family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances who are hired. 

Providing a referral for an applicant is not a guarantee that the individual will receive an interview or be selected for a position at Michigan Medicine. Also, those involved in the hiring team (interviewing and selection process) for the specific job will not qualify for the referral bonus.

All referred applicants will need to complete the standardized process outlined by selection guidelines. Also, the referred applicant cannot be a current employee of the University of Michigan.

This program is for allied health and non-nursing positions only. For the Nursing Employee Referral Program, please click here.
