Candidate Referral Scheme

We know that great people know great people. We also know that a personal recommendation is the best way to let people know about the benefits of working with us.

We are very proud of the high number of referrals we receive, and we wanted to find a suitable way of saying thank you to our network for their continued loyalty, as well as for their help in spreading the word about Harvey John, to friends and former colleagues. So that is why we have decided to launch our first Refer & Reward Scheme - allowing you to earn up to £500 per candidate referral!

Recruitment across Accountancy & Finance is booming at present and we are seeing employers offer much more flexibility to employees in terms of hybrid and remote working. Everyday we are using our knowledge and expertise to negotiate new roles for accountancy professionals for their preferred working patterns. In addition, salary offers are higher now than before the pandemic and many firms are extending bonus arrangements to reward hard work.

If you refer a friend or former colleague to us and when we find them a new role, we’ll reward you with up to £500 in cash! There is no limit to the number of candidates you can refer to us.

How it works:

Providing your referral’s details

In order to qualify for the Harvey John Refer & Reward Scheme you must provide us with your referral’s name and contact details and have their express permission to pass them on to us. Alternatively, your friend can contact us directly but they must inform us in their first contact that they have been referred to us by you, by name.

Eligibility for reward

You will be entitled to receive your reward after your referral has successfully completed their first 12 weeks employment with their new employer if it is a permanent placement, or after 200 hours if they are placed in a temporary/interim post.

Your referral must be placed in a role within 24 months of registering with Harvey John to qualify for the scheme.

Who we can’t include

Sorry but candidates who are currently registered with Harvey John cannot be referred under the scheme for another role. Only referrals made after 1st August, 2022 qualify for this scheme.

Our disclaimer

In the event of dispute, Harvey John’s decision is final. We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue the Reward & Refer Scheme at any time without notice.

You will be responsible for paying any personal income tax that may be due in respect of the receipt of this reward.
