Montgomery County ESC is always looking for talented individuals — and you can help us find them!
Research shows—and our own experience confirms—that employees who join an organization through referrals are often among the most dedicated, high-performing team members and tend to stay longer.
If you refer a candidate who is hired and successfully completes the required employment period, you will receive a $500 referral bonus.
How to Submit a Referral
All referrals must now be submitted using our electronic Google Form: MCESC Employee Referral Program Form
Referrals must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the candidate’s start date (for example, if your candidate starts on August 3, your referral must be submitted no later than September 2). Google Form submissions are timestamped and will be used to determine eligibility.
Sick and personal leave days taken by the referred employee do not count toward the total number of required work days.

- All MCESC employees are eligible to participate except those at the cabinet level or above, Human Resources personnel, and managers with hiring authority over the referred candidate.
