It takes up so much of my time and I feel like there should be some perks to wasting your time on people with more yoe and less knowledge

Some companies pay referral bonuses if the person referred by you gets selected and continues working for a minimum period as per policy

Two parts to it -

  1. Hiring for your own team - don’t think so as it is in your interest to fill that role.
