I need help please. Someone gave my name to a Parnter at KPMG for a position. I contacted that partner on Linkedin with my CV and he forwarded my CV to the recruiter at KPMG. The recruiter contacted me to organize a call, between her and myself, to discuss the different opportunities they have. My brother is also interested in joining that same company. While I am on the call with the recruiter, can I ask if they need someone for the position my brother is interested in?

Don’t do it. As much as you want to help family, this is a time to be ‘selfish’ - if you go in and say here’s me and my brother the recruiter will be confused. Wait for your process to finish, join and start. Then a month in, reach out to the recruiter

Forward the meeting invite to your brother and interview with the recruiter together. Preferably wearing tuxedos.

Think of it this way: the best way to help your brother is to get deeper into the process, make additional contacts. This call is definitely too soon, may appear you’re just doing it for your brother and may not reflect well on him. There will be a natural time, wait for it. That’s the best thing you can do for your brother. Good luck!

I want to help my brother but I am not sure what is the best way to do it in this situation

Agreed with the above. First get your foot in the door and then bring your brother on board

After you get a written offer in hand and accept it. Then you can suggest the recruiter talk to your brother as someone they may also like.

Good people above. You have to help yourself before you can help others.

Thank you so much everyone. Really appreciate your help.
I was really hoping I could bring it up in the call since the call I have with the recruiter is to see what opportunities they have, I know it’s for opportunties for myself, but ... 😞

Well if you are there to fact find the opportunities-you could just do that-fact find their opportunities and see if one of them fits your bro. Don’t bring him up-just be like oh and all of these are on your website? And that way if they are then you still helped out your bro. If they aren’t then wait until you have you first interview set and in your thank you email to the recruiter you could drop name your bro for the position he might qualify for... win-win
