Hi, guys
I'm just wondering about the general practice of referrals followed by everyone here.
Do you only refer people you've worked with and no to be good, or do you forward referrals of unknown people as well?
A couple of my former colleagues periodically hit me up, I mostly ignore their messages (cause all they'll message is "Hi" or "Hey" and ain't no one's got the time for that) but I know it's about getting them a job (because of all the times in the past I've been polite and responded to their "Hi"s). While I do not currently have enough clout in the industry to push around referrals, the thing is, they're simply not good at their jobs, or at least upto my standards and I'd feel uncomfortable referring someone their name knowing they won't do a good job! I don't want my referrals to reflect badly on me... So, just wondering about people's opinions here!
If I know someone is not good enough at their job, I won’t refer them as it’s my reputation at stake.
If I don’t have any positive or negative evidence for their work, I’ll give them the benefit of doubt and refer them
Makes sense
This gives me hope. I've applying from the last month and have little to no connections. Lately I am trying to connect to people from the companies which I want to get an interview from. But no use. I share my resume, I talk about my work and not just a single hi. Still no use.
I just refer with the i don't know this person checkbox ticked ✅ for those who I don't know or Know are shit
I meant more so in terms of personal referrals rather than corporate ones where you fill forms
I refer everyone as i personally know this person
