Referral Bonus Program

VanderHouwen & Associates, Inc. (VHA) would like to offer a new referral bonus program to celebrate our 20th year in business! VHA is where we are today because of the great referrals we have received from all of you over the years. VHA is looking for your continued support referring new candidates and new clients our way.

The Candidate Referral Program is simple: Refer an individual that VHA has not contacted in the past 6 months, and if VHA can match their talent with a client's needs, you will be eligible for a referral bonus.

The Client Referral Program is similar: Refer a client that VHA is not currently doing business with, and if VHA is able to assist with their staffing needs, you will be eligible for a referral bonus.
