wow that's mean... why don't you just help him out, say something along the line that he is personable and professional, or a friendly guy a team player, etc, you could still refer people without saying anything about their technical skills.

Yeah your kinda of a pretentious dick. Hopefully when you need a job, the guy ask you for reference takes your resume and shoves it up his arse.

That's not pretentious. I would just take the resume and forward it to the recruiter. It doesn't need to be your job to tell them no...you can always forward and explain the situation to the recruiter

Yeah this is not pretentious at all. People on this app need to stop acting like every staff is God's gift to PA. Some people aren't cut out to be here. Second the "send it to the recruiter and call to explain"

CC his or her boss on your reply email.

Just say you'd think it'd be a conflict of interest (if it's an audit client), but they can apply on their own if they want

You need to be careful if the person is asking for a referral to a job at Deloitte as we often have provisions that say we can't poach client talent. When I have had a client contact reach out to me I passed along to the partner on my account and asked them what the protocol is and then follow that process.

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.
