Bain 🐠 I’m in contact with a recruiter who’s encouraging me to submit an online app.

1) is this what they say to everyone?
2) should I lock down a referral prior to applying online?

Yes you need to submit through the online portal - everyone needs to. Doesn’t hurt to get a referral first though so they can follow up on your behalf. What region?

I’m currently located in the US (west coast) but open to moving to any region in the US or Canada where there’s a hiring push.

Don’t mean to sound cringe-y here, but would anyone be open to potentially referring after vetting my background? Strong work exp & high performer. I think it’d really help my candidacy
