Hey BCG fishes, I was recently referred for a role and received the email with a dedicated link to apply. But it looks like the link just leads to the website? Is this how it works or did I received the wrong link?

I’d say referral link is best direct path to your target office’s screener.

Gotcha, thats helpful to know. Thank you!

Okay so I see on the url it has 'referral'. My follow up to this would be should I use the referral link or the linkedin outreach link(recruiter reached out to me a month back) ? Which one holds more weight?

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity.

I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
