Friend lighting up moons like we're on Jupiter

Jupiter, the planet, not the company xD Okay but seriously though, my friend who works at a startup, is also in a freelancing company (all remote). He asked me to contact my ex company for a possible referral....and that he's actively looking for a 3rd job. I mean work wise, I'm pretty sure he's using AI tools to work on 2 (now possibly 3) jobs. But won't companies find out, based on his form 16 (I'm kind of a newbie on taxation)? How do companies not realise this or is it that companies can't really find out (?) Explain in detail how to pull this off :3

What Using/misusing employee referral policy has taught me.

So.. Around 2 years back I got my first payout of 50k as a referral bonus for a friend I referred to my company. Around same time.. My team had a few positions.. So i put it on linkedin and got a decent response.. Got another referral.. Next year.. I decided to scale it.. I started putting multiple posts on linkedin for positions across my company and started streaming the responses on google sheet. Having a big linkedin network of 20k helped. This year I scaled it to 4L a year... But then it all stopped after one fine day there was a HR circular to not undertake commercial level sourcing of profiles on linkedin.. And only refer ppl I know. It's a different matter that I could manage to source almost 20-40x more relevant profiles as compared to my HRs even with their third party agencies. More than half of my team members are my referrals :). While scaling this hustle.. This is what I learnt. 1) You will get lots of spam.. I feel sry for some candidates .. But sometime even civil grads will apply for semiconductor jobs. 2) Better to invite applications using a google form with proper filters.. Only serious ppl will apply. 3) Do not refer everyone.. Reduce your effort and only refer candidates who have a chance. 4) Engage with candidates, followup after interviews. 5) Do not trust your employer will automatically honor referral payouts if you don't track.. I literally lost more than 2L coz of inefficient referral tracking system. 6) Control your greed.. Even if you scale up.. Limit yourself to a decent no.. Say 2L a year.. Referral policy is for company's benifit.. They will shut you down one way or another if they find you are gaining. 7) Handling it at scale is a lot of work.
