How long after giving a referral is typical for someone to reach out to that person? I recently put a candidate forward for a role after someone on the talent team asked if I had any suggestions. They're in a tight spot for a job right now so I would hate to lose the thread, but I don't think they've heard yet and I don't know if it's appropriate to check in.

In my experience, they very rarely if ever actually contact them.

I would still follow up with the recruiter! Sometimes you have to put a soft fire. Meaning. I mentioned they should hear from you shortly.

I’m just having second thoughts as exit opportunities aren’t as prevalent as I thought, the pay/benefits don’t match industry/risk of joint a startup, and I’m not getting the network of a Big4 or MBB
