What’s the most rewarding referral experience you’ve had?- Grapevine

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What was the product / service and why did you refer ? Did you receive a financial incentive for referring ?

Did you refer a high value product / service to a friend or family member ?

Product Manager

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?

What are your best tips to ask for referrals???

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

In my life I've seen many instances of friends getting jobs because of recommendations from their previous bosses or friends or colleagues from past companies. Or even from peers from meet-up groups.

So please share your stories.

How many of you landed your positions by referrals etc?

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

Senior Associate

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I’m dumbfounded when the best piece of advice I hear is that its a numbers game and probability is supreme.
There’s got to be a strategy that one applies to shortlist from the ocean of offers out there.

- applying in the same domain as your current company?
- platform or regions where recruiters are more active?
- directly talking to freelance HMs and doing a deal?

If no hack, just share what worked for you? And how are you optimising the job searching?

Give me your best strategies for job hunting?

1. Accept that it's a numbers game. Especially in this market  
 2. Embrace that there may be a super stupid person on the other side . E.G - My CV was rejected at a big Web3  startup, but I persisted : went through a reference spoke to HR and showed her how the CV is a 90%+ Match. She ended up fixing an interview. What if I didn't have a referral? Jata na 
 3. There is only one hack - get that CV in front of the hiring managers face : through referrals, through problem solution one pagers that I've DM'd directly to founders or hiring managers, consistently applying to the widest net, getting friendly and maintaining good relations with head hunters: I've helped so many head hunters with their other mandates unrelated to me, just for the sake of it. No expectations.  
  
 DESPITE throwing such a wide net, it still is roughly taking me 9-10 months for my next gig. Sure I'm looking at leadership mandates and woh roles by default halway mein nahi khatam hote.  
  
 But play the numbers smartly is the only way. Send a 100 tries out (but customized and personalized not spam) and tab hi kaam karega.

Brand Marketing Manager

Since there's many Swiggy employees here. I love Insanely Good. I've stopped ordering from BB / Instamart, Blinkit and my local shops. 

1/ User Interface - just amazing

2/ Quality of Ingredients - the best amongst online retailers

3/ The no door bell delivery - a basic need now. BB guys don't go away till they count every last tomato at 7am. 

What I want to know / suggestions from my side

1/ Are you scaling up in Mumbai/ Delhi? Would love to hook my parents on to it. 

2/ Is the business generally doing good? I've referred it to 3 people so far and they've all started using it. Hopefully this isn't just me in an odd power iser cohort 

3/ Can it get bundled in the Swiggy Credit Card? I shop for all my groceries here, nothing better than the card extending benefits to me. 

4/ What about Meat? If I can get good quality chicken, prawns, fish sourced locally it'd be amazing. Even just a tie up with lucious, I'll order it from your app. 

5/ Looking forward to your inventory expanding - many minor gripes with items missing across sections.

How's Insanely Good doing?

System Engineer

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well.
I'm a software engineer at JPMC with 1+ years of experience in Java, Python, and AWS. Lately, my work at JPMC hasn't much fun and I'm also getting underpaid compared to my peers at Chase for the same role. I'm looking for a switch so that things can get exciting again and I can earn a bit more so that I can provide better back at home. I will be truly grateful if someone can refer me or help me get an opportunity.
Thank you all!
