How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so I want to write something that won’t be overlooked. Any advice is appreciated:)

From the companies I have experience with this, referrals only work if you’re are not ‘already in the system’. Ask the person who referred you to let you know when they successfully submitted the referral and if there is a contact person you can communicate with regarding that referral.

I’m pretty sure if you get a referral and apply then an external recruiter is not going to be interested as they won’t get paid for placing you there.
