• Cannot be a current Nord Security (including its subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent companies) employee;

If more than one person refers the same candidate and Nord Security hires such a candidate, the Reward will be awarded to the first referrer, based upon Nord Security's timestamp for the referral.

HOW IT WORKS

After the referral is submitted, we will contact the candidate to confirm that their personal data was shared with us with their prior acknowledgement and that they wish to proceed with the referral process. We will also ask them to provide their CV and/or LinkedIn profile so that we can assess a potential fit and begin our standard recruitment process. Please note that we will tell the candidate who has referred them.

We will contact you only if you are eligible for the Reward. No information on the recruitment process, employment terms, etc., will be provided to you.

We have the right to determine the eligibility and payments of all referrals in question at our sole discretion. Also, we may offer the candidate a position other than the one you specified when submitting the referral form if it would suit the candidate better.

PAYMENT TERMS

If you are eligible to participate in the Program, Nord Security will pay you an external referral bonus of EUR 1,000 (“Reward”) for each candidate that is hired by Nord Security upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

• The candidate acknowledges that they agreed to participate in the Program and were referred by you;

• The candidate completes the minimum recruitment period of three (3) months of continuous, active employment with Nord Security;

• We have received the required information from you regarding the Reward payment.

After the above-mentioned minimum recruitment period, we will send you a separate confirmation email and ask you to provide additional information to process the payment of the Reward.

Please note that the required information must be provided no later than within thirty (30) calendar days after the email (i. e., the notification of eligibility for the Reward) was sent to you.

The Reward will be made within forty-five (45) calendar days after the minimum recruitment period ends. Please note that if the information is not provided by you within the mentioned thirty (30) calendar days period, the Reward will expire.
