Candidate referrals are maintained in the Northrop Grumman Applicant Tracking System.
Eligibility
Eligible Requisitions:
- Each company element determines which of its positions will qualify for an employee referral award.
- Referral bonuses are determined by the company element that approves and opens the associated requisition.
- Company elements have the option to display referral bonus amounts within the internal requisition description.

FAQ
I submitted my referral resume and received a confirmation. What happens next?
A notification is sent to your referral’s email asking them to update their profile in the system. If you submitted your referral for a specific job, they will also be asked to complete the application for that job. If your referral is hired and you both meet the eligibility requirements for the program, you will be notified that your bonus award is being processed.
Do I need to refer someone for every job for which they are qualified?
Yes, and you will give your referral greater visibility if you submit their resume for multiple jobs matching their qualifications.
How do I know if my referral has been viewed by a recruiter?
Once you have submitted your referral, you can view the status from Workday by typing “My Referrals” in the search bar. Referrals submitted directly for a specific job have a much better chance of being viewed by recruiters.
Can I submit a resume directly to my manager for an opening within my department?
Referrals must be submitted through Workday to be eligible for award.
If my referral is hired by another sector, am I still eligible for the award?
Yes, the Referral Program works across sectors. You will be eligible for the award if there is a bonus attached.
How long is my referral valid?
Referrals are valid for one year from the date received in the system where the referrer is listed as the source of referral on eligible positions.
What do I get if my referral is hired?
If the job has a specified referral award, you will be compensated. Not all jobs have an award offered. Please refer to the Sector Bonus Guidelines for more information.
How and when do I receive my award?
Payment processing begins upon hire after all eligibility requirements have been verified. Your award will be included in your paycheck after processing is complete. The exact timing depends on when payroll receives the payment paperwork and your sector payroll schedule.
I received confirmation of my award, but that was two pay periods ago and I haven’t seen the award in my paycheck. What do I do?
Contact your ERAP Administrator.
Is my award taxable?
Yes. All awards are subject to tax withholding and other applicable deductions.
