Hello! Do you guys have any decent recos for taking a cut from referrals? I’ve operated by the karma system for a decade but now wondering if it makes sense to take a cut if I’m sourcing the talent. Either percentage or flat fee that doesn’t break the bank of the freelancer or hurt them but pays me for the work of sourcing them. Definitely not at the recruiter / staffing firm level.

This is weird. People will think you’re weird. You’re not a recruiter or headhunter. Don’t be weird. If you want to make money doing this, be a real professional recruiter.

Wait what? What are you talking about? Giving referrals for people in your network to your company, or to other companies?

Eek 😬 it’s a relationship business. It’s an investment into your career, if you need to see it from some sort of profit perspective. Also, it can just be you being a decent human and that is the reward 🙂

Got it guys! Thanks for the input. Won’t be seeking referral fees and I appreciate everyone’s not so gentle input. I’ve referred a million people and they’ve referred me and will continue this path.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.
