Okta Referral Bonus Program

• Referral Bonus Amount: Up to $5,000
• Eligibility: The referred candidate must successfully complete the hiring process and remain employed with Okta for a minimum of 90 days.
• Payment Timeline: Bonus is typically paid out in the pay cycle following the candidate's 90th day of employment.

Process for Referring Candidates

1. Submission: Employees can submit referrals through Okta's internal referral portal. Ensure all contact information and resume details of the candidate are current and accurate.
2. Tracking: Referrals are tracked via the portal, where employees can monitor the status of their referral.
3. Notification: Employees will be notified if their referral has been successfully hired and will receive updates on the referral bonus status.

Important Considerations

• Prior Candidates: Referrals must not be previous applicants or candidates already in the recruitment pipeline.
