As far as resume, yes I understand, we are always looking for ways to better things and make them easier for us all. Thanks for the suggestion. John - I can see your point of view, but let me provide an example please. Lets say that you refer us someone. Lets say that we ask them questions and test them, and they seem like they are competent, so we hire them. Then lets say that over the next few weeks they don't show up for work, or they just don't fully get what they are being trained for. What if they cannot multi task and give satisfactory answers, or are just not picking up the things we try to teach them. The bottom line is, there is a window open for 90 days, as many companies have in place. This is a time period to make sure the hired person can learn what they are taught and put it to practice. We are all about helping people to learn and succeed. If a person comes to HostGator first they should understand enough about hosting to offer basic support for people. But then they receive training to give better answers, and learn how to resolve other potential problems. Sally – Yes there is no exact time period.

If only your referral form has a resume submitter (like your job application form), wouldn't that be great? Ok I assume the period as “while stocks last” :)

I know of a few who are very good at their job and would make you some very good employees. Not interested for myself as I already have a job but for a few friends I have that are looking. Thanks!

Therefore I always concern the direction of the company and look at your blog all the times. May I have the following suggestions so the company can continue to be strong and make more customers and employees happy as a result the company can grow. Your consideration will be much appreciated. Re: Employee Referral Program Published on January 16th, 2008 There is a big concern to me with the two conditions to find qualified web hosting support technicians for Hostgator. 1. They must be employed for 90 days in order to be paid. 2. Full time employees receive full health benefit options as well after 90 days of employment. Think on the other side. If I am a good technician ( which I am not ) I should be working with another company with good salary and benefits. I need a good reason why I need to join your company or even give it a try? Everyone will think why 90 days, what if for any reason (the company name one) I am told after I work for 89 days and I cannot be continued and need to go. I just walk away with nothing? What if something happen to me within that 90 days and I have no full health benefit at all and what should I do? Does the company just want me to help them in some projects less than 90 days and that’s all? The situation will just keep away a lot of good potential employees. May be that 90 days is just for training and that new employee just doesn’t really input a lot for the company but think about this. This new employee just spent his time and energy for the company and nothing else. I think it should be honored. In Canada I have a friend and he just went to a new national well known food product company called “Maple Leaf” as a high executive and he had the same concern as I mentioned. As the company they said to him the relationship is a long term and need to build trust with each other. So he got the medical insurance package, the retirement package and of course the salary for the first month. Actually he got training for three months and nothing else. Now he is heading a big project. He likes the philosophy of this company a lot. At the same time Maple Leaf got a very good employee that can contribute this company for a long run. I know different professional fields have different ways to do things. I am not familiar with Hosting Company at all and I just think of something may be you have interest to think about.
