I applied to a PEPI Human Capital role. I’m thinking I probably should’ve asked for a referral first based on everyone saying that it’s super competitive. Any advice how to move forward? Do I even have a chance without referral?

Even with a referral it all ends up in front of the same recruiter. It’s such a specialized service line, you are probably fine if you have the correct experience and would get a screening.

Thanks! Yeah I think I’m perfectly qualified for the role which is why it caught my attention. We’ll see!
