is there any actual advantage to getting an employee referral when applying to a new job? how much does it actually help in the eyes of a hiring manager or recruiter?

YES it helps get them in the door. I've gotten my friends' interviews at my company when they were rejected multiple times applying on their own through the screening process. Also have been on the other side of it. Rejected multiple times through screening until referred at big 4.

It’s a huge help. As someone making a hiring decision, I am a lot more inclined to hire someone that is recommended by someone I already know versus someone else. It takes some of the risk out of a new hire.

it helps

At KPMG I’m pretty sure ERP-endorsement ensures a recruiter views the resume. Beyond that, I would guess how seriously they take the referral would depend on factors like your own performance, whether or not you’ve successfully referred people before, and if you’re in the group you’re referring them for.

Helps a ton!

A lot I would think

I’m an FA at ML, been in the role for 1 year and 8 months, but have 23 years of industry experience. Quarterly, I have a performance review call with my Market Executive and until today never heard anything negative… my growth is slower than I’d like and definitely I’m sure that’s why, but today he said last time “they” wanted to give me a letter of education and he talked “them” out of it. First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
