Employee Referral Incentive Award

You already work for the best school district in the State of Nevada, now you can earn incentive awards while helping our district family grow! If you know someone who would be a good addition to Carson City School District (CCSD), you may be awarded a referral incentive of $1,000 (less taxes) by referring a candidate who is successfully hired in a benefitted certified or classified position and remains with the district for 6 months or longer with satisfactory job performance. You can earn a $1,000 incentive for each referral! 

The CCSD Strategic Plan includes a goal to “attract, recruit, develop and retain effective staff for all positions.” 
  • Increasing new employee retention.
  • Improving employee morale.
  • Improving the cultural fit of new hires, thereby reducing turnover and streamlining onboarding.
Anticipated outcomes of the employee referral incentive program include:
  • Lowering overall recruiting costs.
  • Reducing the time-to-hire for external candidates.
  • Better targeting and sourcing of passive job seekers.
  •  Deepening the pipeline of potential applicants.

Here are some of the highlights that you can share with prospective employees as to the value of being an employee of CCSD:
