NTI Scout Program - Partner Referrals


People sitting at a table shaking hands.

It takes the dedication of our valuable partners for NTI to continue to offer our job placement, job coaching and training services to the disability community. We are continually looking for new corporate and government partners to offer remote jobs or provide grant funding.

Do you know someone we should talk to?

If your introduction leads to a new partnership, you can earn money for 2 years!

Who is Eligible?

Anyone (employee or non-employee) may participate in NTI’s Scout Program except for NTI senior management or those in business development roles for NTI. Non-employees will be required to complete and submit a W-9 Form - Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification prior to receiving funds associated with NTI’s Scout Program.

How It Works

You introduce NTI to an individual(s) at a new prospective corporate or government partner. If your introduction leads to the creation of new telework jobs for the disabled community served by NTI or a donation/grant, you will receive 1% of the profit NTI earns over the first 2 years of the new partnership you helped us build.

An “introduction” for NTI’s Scout Program is defined as a formal introduction to one or more persons with decision-making authority to partner with an organization like NTI. This can be a direct (you introduce NTI to someone with decision-making authority) or indirect (you introduce NTI to someone who can then introduce NTI to someone with decision-making authority) introduction.

For example, if you help us build a partnership that results in a $100,000 grant, upon receipt of these funds, NTI will pay you $1,000.

If a new partnership leads to jobs of Americans with disabilities, and NTI makes a profit of $500,000 each year of services provided, NTI will pay you $5,000 a year for two years.

Payments are made on a quarterly basis, for the prior quarter. If you are a current NTI employee, you would receive your referral pay as part of your regular bi-weekly payroll. If you are a former employee of NTI, or a supporter of our important mission, you would receive your referral pay as a 1099 contractor.

For purposes of NTI’s Scout Program, “profit” is defined as funds received by NTI that can be used to cover our operational expenses. Profit does not include any pass-through funds received by NTI from a partner to cover contract staffing expenses such as salary, employer taxes, contract management fees, or other contractual obligations.

For new staffing partnerships, a minimum of 10 initial placements is required to qualify for NTI’s Scout Program.

For any grant or donation, a minimum contribution of $25,000 is required to qualify for NTI’s Scout Program.

If no profit is made within the first year of the partnership, no referral bonus will be paid out. 

If multiple people refer the same partner, the decision on how/if the referral fee will be split will be made by NTI management.

No referral fees will be payable for current or former NTI partners.

The final decision on all referral fees will be at NTI’s sole discretion.
