REFERRALS

Specialized is always looking for good people and you can help!  Research has shown, and our own experience supports this, new hires that come into a company through employee referrals are excellent contributors and stay with the company longer.  That is where you come in!  In our experience, some of our best Candidates are currently working and they just want to be made aware of job opportunities.  If you know someone who would be a good addition to Specialized and they meet the qualifications for an existing open job, you will receive a **$100 Gift Card if you refer them for employment and they are hired!

When you have someone in mind who would be a good fit for our company, let us know by contacting Linda Wetzel via email at info@TheBestWorkWithUs.com OR call us at 724-287-8380.  Please have their name, email address and phone number available.  Also, please feel free to share our website www.TheBestWorkWithUs.com that includes current job opportunities.
