Improve recruitment and retention
Where your team lives impacts how they work. By joining the preferred employer program, your organization provides a meaningful benefit that helps attract and retain top talent. We handle all the administration, so your team can focus on the work that matters most.
How employees qualify
Once your company is part of the network, your employees can easily access their benefits during the application process at their chosen Thrive community. To qualify, they just need to provide proof of income (offer letter or pay stub) that includes your company name and their name when applying.
Additional Guidelines
Changing to a Preferred Employer mid-lease does not retroactively qualify you for credits or deposit reduction (referral credits may still apply).
Preferred Employer credits cannot be combined with Resident Referral credits.
Security deposit reduction applies only with no additional conditions on approval (guarantor use counts as a condition).
If employed by Ohio State University, you must be wholly employed by OSU (student financial aid, stipends, and fellowships do not qualify).
A maximum of two $300 Preferred Employer credits applies per household, but application fees are reimbursed for all Preferred Employer applicants on the lease.

Refer coworkers and get even more benefits
If you already live in a Thrive community through the preferred employer program, you can earn a $300 one-time credit for each eligible coworker who:
- Lists you as their referrer at the time of application
- Signs a 12-month lease or longer
- Moves in while you’re a current resident
