Intern here!

Can someone explain how referrals work? If I connected with someone who said they will refer me to a position, am I supposed to fill out an online application with their name in the referral box? Are there other steps?

Thank you so much in advance!!

At PwC, for example, we’d go into workday, find the role, then click to refer a person. We’d enter some details and an email would be sent to the person be referred. That email would include a link to apply. The person must apply through that link in order to be referred.

usually you have a form that must be filled out and also you might have to submit their resume.

Can’t comment for PWC, but for D we have a portal where we submit the persons name, their resume, and usually a blurb (I believe) to a specific posting. I believe that then triggers an application to them.

Thanks everyone! I’m still a student and I was curious how referrals worked.

Follow up question: when students do networking calls with you, what is your intention when you refer them to a colleague instead of directly referring them to HR by yourself? Was it because they weren’t qualified enough?

Referral process for undergrad hires is different. And unless the person referring you is a partner, they probably don’t mean much.
