Is there any downside to referring people to MBB? What happens if you refer a candidate and the recruiter and/or hiring manager thinks that the person you referred isn’t good?

I think the character piece is more important than case performance in a referral (in that it won’t hurt your rep if they flop on a case, although ideally they wouldn’t, but it doesn’t reflect well if they turn out to be aggressive/rude/history of questionable behavior somehow/etc).

It’s generally assumed that you wouldn’t refer though unless you knew the person well enough to know that they’re qualified on paper and doesn’t have any red flags that you know about; and if you don’t, then you’d usually caveat it that way to the recruiting team. So it’s not like someone is going to get mad at you or ding you unless you keep throwing bad referrals in, in which case I imagine your reputation would take a hit
