Has anyone ever found a referral through this channel?

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
