Hi OP,
If you have someone you know at Google, it will go a million times further than a referral from someone random from the internet. We have to fill out several questions stating how we know the candidate, their work ethic, skills, etc. As soon as we state we don’t know you, it becomes a moot referral.
Most Googlers won’t refer for that reason. Some Googlers will say they’ll do it, but would highly encourage a personal referral instead.
Unfortunately I don't. That's why I asked here. Thanks for your response.
I’m pretty sure you are not allowed to refer someone if you have never worked with them
OP, if you don't have any one who can refer you, reach out to recruiters or hiring managers on LinkedIn. They're usually very helpful.
Do keep in mind that they receive many DM's everyday, so your message needs to be very concise and crisp to help your case.
