Faculty and staff can help bring some of the country’s best and brightest from the veteran community to USC and earn a $500 (taxable) bonus by taking advantage of our Veteran referral program.
The university takes pride in our long relationship with the United States Armed Forces, including a notable history of supporting veterans. Through academic offerings, Reserve Officers’ Training Corp (ROTC) programs, veteran-focused research programs, and of course our employment and hiring activities, USC has maintained an unparalleled commitment to supporting U.S. military veterans.
The details
To refer a veteran to a posted USC staff job, the following conditions apply:
- You may not be a recruiter, student worker, or directly involved in the hiring decision.
- The candidate must be a veteran of the U.S. military and must self-identify as a protected veteran in the application and onboarding processes (refer to the Am I a Protected Veteran? factsheet).
- The position may not be a temporary/contingent worker position or a student worker position.
- The bonus does not apply to internal hires, promotions, or transfers.
If the referred veteran is hired any time within one year of the application date, then once the veteran completes 90 days of active employment, the referring employee will receive a $500 bonus, which will be taxable.
