Kind souls who successfully exited to Google,
Would you be kind enough to refer me to a role at Google!
Came across a role that's a good fit. Would ideally like to target it through a referral and not by applying through the career site.
Would also love to maybe take you for a meal or alike to thank you for it :) Google

That wouldn’t just be rude, it would make you look super duper naive.
Talent managers or those in similar positions get so many emails a day. They rely on their coworkers referring people they know.
This person mostly likely has no personal vendetta against you and probably does not remember you ever contacted them.
An interview isn’t an offer. I’d keep the smug to yourself unless you want to make sure you don’t get hired
I applied to an agency and emailed their recruiters for 2yrs. Ignored. Then went through friends that work there, went around recruiting and had immediate interviews with C-level. Was hired. Most in-house recruiters suck at their jobs and rely on software to do their work for them. The most useless dept in an agency and the worst hires. If a recruiter hasn’t done the job they are recruiting for they can seldom spot talent or potential. I’ve only ever met two recruiters that have the vision to really see candidates potential and place them accordingly. Just imagine if agencies reinvested the money they spend on ineffective recruiters and instead spent it on teams. The industry would drastically improve.
It’s not a too “nice” thing, just not professional lol
... I’m so tempted to just walk in the interview like a real smug piece of shit being like “so you thought I wouldn’t get in? Lol jokes on you” probably won’t do that because I’m too nice but I can dream I guess
Trust me, based on the caliber I see in our ‘talent’ group, it would be a miracle if the reason you didn’t get a callback had anything to do with you.
Cw 1 - solid point
Sc 1 - the interview isn’t with the talent person lol i think they are hellbent on me not getting in but my friend is really doing me a solid and basically not giving a damn what they think but yea I’m going in professional 😂was just a tempting daydream
