How It Works

3. Submit the referral via online form (12-month referral link begins)
4. We email your referral candidate with an invitation to apply via personalized link
5. Your referral candidate begins the hiring process

Once your referral candidate applies, you can track the status of their application process through your Employee Referral Program tracking dashboard.

Who Are We Looking For?

Apart from relentlessly believing in our mission, a successful employee referral candidate:

• Meets or exceeds the minimum requirements outlined in the job posting;
• Is not a current employee, contractor, co-op, intern or Fixed-term employee;
• Has not been referred by another employee in the last year.

We make hiring decisions based on how a candidate aligns with the qualifications we know set people up for success in each role. When we're responsible for reaching more than a billion people with our life-changing products and medicines, we owe it to you, our colleagues, and our customers, to get it right.

Employee Referral

If your referral accepts a position and the position is reward eligible, you'll receive a reward as a token of our appreciation within 1-2 pay cycles from the referred new employee's start date. There will be no employment probationary periods to be considered.

Any full-time or part-time employee can receive a referral reward provided the following:

• The referral is submitted through CareerHub;
• The referred candidate is hired within twelve months from the date of the employee referral submission;
• The referring employee is an active employee of the company at the time of the payment for the referral.

General referrals are not currently accepted. All referrals must be submitted through the CareerHub.

Referral Rewards Are:

• Determined at the country/territory level
• Based on the established reward amount for the country/territory in which the referred candidate resides
• Payable by the company in which the referrer resides (referring candidate's company), and paid out in the referrer's local currency

Referral Links

When you refer someone, you and your referral candidate are linked for 12 months following the original referral date, at which point the link expires. This means that the referring employee will receive a referral reward if their referred candidate is hired within 12 months of the original referral date on record. We will let you know via email and your tracking dashboard when a referral link is about to expire.
