Any harm in spamming referrals? I keep getting asked for them and for a few I feel like they're not prime candidates - but they're friends/ex-colleagues so don't want to turn them down.

Any chance of things blowing back?

F - also curious for BCG

I don’t refer anyone that I wouldn’t actively pick to work on a project with me. I refer 2-3 people per year, and give strong referrals / follow up with recruiting.
If you spam referrals for bad candidates, why would recruiting take your referrals seriously?

People that came from my undergrad that reach out and people I have worked with at prior jobs

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

When a recruiter contacts you to say “your background is of interest to me” for “a role I have been contracted to fill”, have they actually been specifically contacted by the firm, and maybe should be treated more like a hiring manager who is truly evaluating you? Or are they simply matching you to some posting they can see online and trying to set up a recruiting relationship with you? Fine either way, just want to know.
