FAMbassador Referral Program

Everyone at Sheetz should be on the lookout for our next great hire. Recruiting is not just an HR responsibility, it’s everyone’s responsibility! Help Recruit. Get Paid. It's that simple!

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

Just picture this: what if all 27,000+ of our awesome employees reached out to their friends, family, and that super friendly cashier at their local grocery store? We could welcome countless extraordinary individuals into the Sheetz work family, without spending a single dime on advertising! 

Now, what if we took all of those “dimes” we saved and gave them to YOU? What if YOU got paid to recruit talent for Sheetz?

Welcome to the Sheetz FAMbassador Program. Where current employees earn real money to help us find extraordinary talent.

Here's how it works...

  • Think about what makes someone a great Sheetz employee.

  • Go find these Sheetzy people – Your friends. Your family. Your acquaintances at church, school, sports, etc.

  • Have them select ‘Referred by a current employee’ on their application.

  • Ask them to fill out the Referral form sent to their email after their application.

  • If they get hired and stay for 60 days for stores & 90 days for SDS…you get paid! 

Help recruit. Get paid. It's that simple.

HOW TO MAKE A REFERRAL

  1. Candidate will select “referring by a current employee’ on their application

  2. Complete the referral form sent to the email applied through

Let’s break it down a little further…. 

  • Employee's must direct candidate to…

    • Select ‘Referred by a current employee’ on their application under the 'How did you hear about us?' dropdown question

    • They also must complete the Referral Form sent to their email after they complete their application

  • Employees must have a candidate select ‘Referred by a current Employee’ on their application under the ‘How did you hear about us?’ dropdown question

  • A candidate will then receive an automated email with the subject line ‘Referral follow-up questions!’ to fill out a form

    • Click on the link that says: ‘Click to Complete’

  • The candidate will have to login to our ATS

  • The candidate will fill out their form with their First Name, Last Name, Phone Number and email. They will also fill out the Full Name, Phone and Email of the person who referred them

  • A candidate has to do BOTH of these steps to be eligible 

  • If the referred employee is hired, the Recruiting Operations Admin will monitor the employment status of the new hire (referral) and the employee (referrer) to ensure that they are both employed at the 90-day mark.

  • If both employees are employed, the referring employee will receive payment (minus taxes and withholdings) in their regular bi-weekly pay check within 30 days.  

  • In the event that two or more employees refer the same candidate, the referral amount will be split.

  • If someone applies to two different jobs and lists two or more different referrers, the payment will be given to the employee(s) who are listed on the job the new hire accepts.
