Referral Bonus

DrugDev is growing and we’re looking for smart, talented and passionate people to join our team!  Do you know someone who is looking to contribute to improving the way clinical trials are run? Let us know!

In order to thank people outside of our organization for sending us great candidates, the Boston office of DrugDev has implemented an external referral program. If your referral meets our bonus requirements, we’ll thank you or a charity of your choosing with $1,500. And you’ll be providing someone with a fun and challenging work experience that has true impact on our industry. Please refer to our website for full terms and conditions.

Rules and Guidelines

  • The referred candidate must be applying to a job managed out of DrugDev’s Boston office
  • The referred candidate must know you and acknowledge that you sent him or her to DrugDev
  • The referred candidate must be a new candidate to DrugDev within the last 18 months
  • You will be notified within two weeks of submission if your candidate is already in the DrugDev database
  • Referral awards for current employees, past employees, or interns are not applicable if employed by DrugDev in the past 18 months
  • Your referred candidate must start work at DrugDev within 180 days of referral email
  • In the event that more than one person refers the same candidate, the referral bonus will be paid only to the referral that was received first, based on the determination of DrugDev
  • If the candidate is also submitted to DrugDev by an external third party recruiter, we will honor the submission based on who submitted the referral first
