I have referral lots and lots of candidates in the past, dozen at each company that I worked in. But more than half never make it to onsite, and NOT one has passed onsite. Quiet disappointed with the success rate of referral, wanted to hear other success rate for it.
1 for 1 right here bby Never referring anyone again in order to keep this record alive
Quality vs. quantity
People throwing around referrals like candy, then wondering why they're not working 🤣
Exactly
I only refer people that I know or have a second order connection with so that I can find out more abt them before I refer them. To be successful, you will need to do some follow-up with the hiring manager and vouch for them. I guess it depends on your reputation and sphere of influence.
The funny thing for me is that I've followed that approach and I'm still something like 0 for 10. Ha ha.
Then you need to calibrate on your assessment skill
Microsoft HR is blackhole based on input from one of my friend at Microsoft. And also for such good company its not easy even for recruiter to shortlist the right candidate based on detailed discussion with one of the recruiter at Microsoft. So over all Microsoft need to make good improvement in their hiring and referral program. As they are really loosing good talent comming through referral.
Pick up better referrals/friends 😂🤣
Depends on who is referring, which company & the resume. Referrals only guarantee that the resume reaches the recruiter. Rest all depends on the candidate alone.
True.
I have been trying to get referred in Microsoft but non of the refferal is working even though I have worked there!
Mine is zero at Facebook, and previously Microsoft and Google. Please add 0 option.
Refer me for Fb 😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
Referred ~20 ppl over years. 0 received an offer. It's 0% success rate
