Referral bonus program

Effective September 1, 2026. These terms replace earlier versions.

In these terms, "Referrer" means the person submitting the referral, "Candidate" means the person being referred, and "Task Force Talent" means Task Force Talent LLC.

1. After review, Task Force Talent sends the Referrer a written confirmation containing: (a) a confirmation number; (b) confirmation that the Candidate was not already known to Task Force Talent; (c) the amount of the bonus, if any; and (d) the expiration date of the referral, normally 12 months after receipt. A referral is not eligible for a bonus until the Referrer receives a confirmation containing all four items.
2. The Referrer must know the Candidate personally. The Referrer may not refer themselves. Automated submissions are rejected.
3. If more than one person refers the same Candidate, the first complete referral Task Force Talent receives is the one that counts.
4. The Candidate must be legally eligible for, and meet the work authorization and security clearance requirements of, the position they accept.
5. To receive a bonus, the Referrer must be an individual who lives in the United States and is a U.S. person for federal tax purposes, able to complete IRS Form W-9. Before payment, the Referrer must provide a completed Form W-9, a U.S. mailing address, and a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number. These requirements allow us to report payments on Form 1099 and help protect the program from fraud.
6. The Referrer acknowledges that Task Force Talent will issue a Form 1099 or other tax documentation for any bonus paid, and that the Referrer is solely responsible for all U.S. federal, state, and local taxes on the bonus.
7. The Referrer may decide whether to share the bonus with the Candidate. Task Force Talent has no role in how a bonus is shared and no responsibility for disputes between the Referrer and the Candidate.
8. The Candidate must accept a position with a paying client of Task Force Talent within 12 months after Task Force Talent receives the referral, or by the expiration date in the confirmation, whichever is earlier, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
9. Task Force Talent sometimes introduces candidates to companies that are not paying clients. No bonus is paid for those introductions.
10. The Candidate must start work and remain employed by the client for at least 90 days, in accordance with Task Force Talent's agreement with the client.
11. No bonus is paid unless and until the client pays Task Force Talent. The client's payment is normally received 90 to 120 days after the Candidate's start date. The bonus is paid after that, plus processing time.
12. Task Force Talent may reject a referral, or withhold a bonus, if information provided was inaccurate or misleading, if the referral was fraudulent or automated, or if the client did not pay.
13. Task Force Talent may change or end the program at any time. Changes do not affect referrals already confirmed in writing.
