We want more team members just like you! And when your referred candidate gets hired, you get paid.

Our UMMS team members are role models in our local communities, and often help friends and neighbors navigate the health care system, regardless of their job responsibilities. The UMMS referral bonus program acknowledges and rewards this advocacy.

Do you know someone whose skills, experience and alignment with UMMS values would be a good fit for an open position? Encourage them to apply to any member organization and list you as the referring team member. If they are hired at any member organization, you may be eligible for a referral bonus between $500 and $5,000. All open positions are eligible; bonus amounts are based on position demand.
