Axelerant Team Member Referral Program
Axelerant is committed to building a diverse and talented team. Our referral program invites team members to recommend individuals they believe would be a strong addition to our culture and mission. Referrals play an important role in our hiring process, as we value the insights and networks of our team members in helping us grow.
What is a Referral Bonus?
A referral bonus amount is a percentage of the new hire’s annual fixed salary. Axelerant provides a referral bonus to team members whose referrals result in a successful hire. Payment is issued after the referred team member completes 100 days of employment.
Axelerant uses differentiated referral bonus percentages to address hiring priorities and labour-market conditions. Certain roles require specialised skills, have limited talent availability, or are essential to meeting operational and delivery needs. To support timely hiring for these positions, Axelerant provides a higher referral bonus. This approach aligns referral incentives with organisational requirements and helps ensure consistent staffing for roles that are critical or difficult to fill.
Referral Bonus Percentages
To find the details on applicable referral bonus percentages, please check this sheet. The referral bonus percentages may be adjusted over time based on the criticality of specific roles, changes in market demand, and the strength of Axelerant’s talent pipeline.
Referral bonuses are subject to applicable taxes and statutory deductions.
