Feels like a blackhole. People asking for referrals with no comments. What's the point?

Has anyone ever found a referral through this channel?- Grapevine

I have seen many people using this community lately for referrals in companies like Amazon, Flipkart, etc but I think it's not very rational of people to think that they will get a Referral out of this community or app because it's almost like a stranger recommending another stranger for a job profile and it of course also comes with a sense of responsibility that the one joining doesn't do any mischief so why will someone actually do Referral?

Did anyone ever get a Referral?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I think that would be a great initiative for apps who discuss about careers. I was hoping to get some leads here

Why isn't there a referral community here?

I mean its so hard to get a referral or is it just me? Basically,

1. Everyone on linkden is basically an influencer, though with a legit experience and ofcourse technical skills, its more like everyone is just there to flaunt and I practically see no one actually being helped or helping.

2. Only on a personal level, I guess having met them, do people take you seriously, that still is a low probability.

So my question is, if you were an average Joe in this job market, how would you approach people to have them actually land an interview let alone be selected?

Where do you guys get referrals from?

Here in the grapevine app itself i got several referrals. All the interviews I am attending now are firm referrals. Whether I clear the interview or not is second. But I could see many folks coming up to help by giving referrals. If we get selected its win-win situation we get the job and they get money too.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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.

What Using/misusing employee referral policy has taught me.

Never heard using referal as a side hustle. Great job

I foremost applaud you for developing a banger app. I alongwith users of grapevine had a feature request where could you guys please create a section "Seeking Referrals" dedicated to people providing referrals and people seeking for one? It might be a great help.

Team of Grapevine, Can we add a separate section for "Seeking Referrals"?

Hi folks, Can anyone give me referral for 'Blue Yonder' and 'NCR Atleos', please kindly engage in the post if someone can help highly appreciated.

Seeking referrals

I'm saying this because Microsoft has posted more than 240 software engineering jobs in India in just the last month, bringing the total to 547 software engineering jobs in India alone. However, despite this large number of job postings, I haven't seen a single new employee announcement on LinkedIn for any of these positions.

Does nobody want to join Microsoft, or what?

Hey everyone,
Hope it's going well. 

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.  
 
Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Hi all,

I am currently on notice period with one month left to serve and I can eventually cut down on that and can join immediately.

Are there any openings for the data engineering domain or EPM consultant or EPM developers or FP&A analyst.

If there are openings can you please help me by extending me a referral for those opportunities.

Thanks

People out here be referring like the referral bonus is their side income hustle.
Takes the entire credibility out of a referral when they do this.

How to get referral here

Program Manager

I arranged employee referrals from Microsoft , Visa , Arcesium , Walmart but no response came not even rejection its almost 1 month.
Is there any other trend prevailing in market?
Or more precisely Am I approaching in the wrong way?

It seems employee referrals are not working these days

It’s pretty well known that Microsoft referrals are useless

So, I've recently joined a company and I've been getting a lot of requests for referrals from folks on LinkedIn whom I don't know personally. 

I feel for these folks because I was in a similar situation a few months ago, trying very hard to switch.

But, I'm sort of confused as to - should we refer someone whom we have never met personally? Does the concept of "referral" allow that?

What do you guys think?

Has anyone ever found a referral through this channel?
