I see people asking here all the time for a referral. New to this. Is it much easier to get hired via internal referral? Does referring someone you've never met before not reflect poorly on you if that person isn't qualified? Internal recruiter/hr doesn't ask how you know the person or what you think of him/her?

Yes. No. Sometimes. Plenty folks in it for the referral bonuses too.

If i refer a potato because i think it’s a good potato, it’s not my fault they hired a potato if they were looking for a tomato. I simply let them know i liked the potato.

No. It’s in the system. Hr doesnt ask anything. Also, no doesnt reflect poorly unless he/she is in your group, i always then take a second look

So just to clarify, if it's the same group as you, then you should be more careful about who you choose to refer?

HELP my friends! I’ve been invited to a recruiter screen for the initial interview with HR for Global Safety Associate. This job mainly deals with Adverse event/high prescribing meds product complaints. In my current role I deal with on boarding pt & getting patients work done from A-Z till they get on their meds. The only part which is similar is that I’m the main point of contacts for pt so I can report their complaint to Health Canada. How can I convince them I can handle this new job

Hello Fishes, its really strange to ask but I have no option left.
I have almost 2 years of gap in my career due to medical issues, but not its recovered and I am trying to rejoin again. I applied to so many places but has been seeing only rejections either due to gap and either due to my over qualification.
I am truly tired of applying and waiting for their call back and reverts, Its like getting into depression slowly slowly.
Is their any place where I can get hired soon. Please help me.
