1. Someone who thinks highly of you and can speak with reasonable depth about your character, work product, and /or leadership potential refers you.
2. You (almost always) get a phone screen and interview. Your referrer and maybe their friends help you prep.
3. Your interview performance determines whether you get another interview... and an offer.
4. You accept
5. If you stay a while, the person who referred you gets a couple bucks. Not enough to risk their reputation for a shaky referral, but nice nonetheless.
