KIRKLAND LAKE - A Northern Ontario hospital is shaking up the recruitment game by offering a $2,000 reward to anyone worldwide who successfully refers a new employee for hard-to-fill positions.
The positions currently eligible for the $2,000 referral incentive are for diagnostic imaging technologists, nurse practitioners, registered dieticians, registered nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, physicians and physiotherapists. Once the successful candidate completes their probationary period or hourly threshold, the person who made the referral will receive a $1,000 cheque from Blanche River Health. A second payment of $1,000 will be made on the employee’s one-year anniversary.
“At first, the communities that we were talking about were Kirkland Lake, Englehart, like our area, but then we were like, we'll take it a step further. Does it really matter where the referral source comes from? You know, you want anybody and everybody to talk about Blanche River Health as a place to go. And so we expanded it to you can be anywhere in the world and you can refer to us.
