Hi Guy's, I don't know what I'm doing wrong at the time of refer anyone in the cognizant. Whenever I refer someone, his/her profile does not progress beyond the "under review" section.
I have referred 3 people so far and all three profiles are under review section and under review and " under review" is showing 0% for all three profiles. Please suggest me if I'm doing any wrong things at the time of the referral... And the job for which I am referring to anyone that is the latest only.Cognizant

KPMG NorCal offices: are you guys going into the office and/or to the client sites daily right now? I’m trying to figure out if I have leverage to stay in the Bay Area if I end up getting a job out of Sac office. I don’t want to move to Sac area at all.
I have no problem driving up once or twice a month to be onsite, but anything to avoid living in Sac area.

I personally dont like 3rd party headhunters and dont trust their species. But some say it can backfire. I feel its worth getting a friend put in a good word instead of relying on mercy of recruiter. What do experts here think?
I've had nothing but headaches from recruiters both as someone hiring people and getting hired. Too many of them don't truly understand the roles they are trying to place for and often go for numbers rather than trying to find true fits for their roles. Some of the more unscrupulous ones will out and out lie about a role just to get you to interview which I have to assume is part of some internal quotas set by their recruitment agencies? I've shown up to multiple interviews where a recruiter described a role only to find out during the interview they are looking for something different... and I mean entirely different tech stack & programming language different. I've also been one of two final candidates for another role only to lose it because the fees tacked on by the recruiter put my salary significantly higher than the other candidate (who had no recruiter) so they went with him. I'm sure in some situations recruiters can add value but I've never had much luck with them. I do want to add that in-house recruiters are usually much better as they seem to be more focused on finding the "right" candidate than just finding anyone so they can "earn" their commission.

No. Going around the headhunter will burn that bridge. Beyond that, the headhunter likely speaks with the key decision maker on a daily basis, or at least weekly, directly about candidates. Your friend does not. The headhunter fights for their candidates because they get paid most when their candidate gets hired. Your friend does not.
Work with the recruiter. You can also have your friend put in a good word, but work with the recruiter.

Problem is i dont think headhunter is fighting but pushing other candidates. They said client will make decision by next week..thats code word for they have zero control and balls in clients court. How can candidate improve odds other than just waiting to hear bad news?

Yeah just bypass them, if you haven't signed anything they have no power to force you to go through them
If it is for a c-suite position, the company is probably paying the recruiting firm. If you reach out to the company, they will simply refer you to the recruiter, who serves as the first screen.
Just curious, is there a harm in going through the Recruiter as well as put in the word with your friend. If the company hired a head hunter, they may value their experience to bring in a candidate suitable for the role.

There’s no harm in but it’s more expensive for the agency to use the headhunter. They can save money by hiring the same person without the headhunter fee

Companies don’t like using headhunters, it’s an extra expense and they would rather get the same candidate without a third party. Your only issue here is if you’ve already signed with the recruiter and you bypass them, they may have a case to the commission so that’s really the crux of the issue.
They are most likely looking at multiple candidates and relying on the recruiter to manage the process and have most likely already paid for the search

Seems like insightful but mixed responses so far.
