My friend applied for a position and went through the first round of interviews. I wanna reach out to the recruiter and put in a good word for them. How do you suggest i do that?

Reach out to hiring manager, not recruiter. They already made it past the recruiter’s screen, so s/he is no longer the decision maker

This & exactly what you mentioned above.

I don’t like when people reach out to me about other people, unless I think that person is top tier. If I don’t know them it doesn’t help, but doesn’t hurt either.

All I’m getting at is it doesn’t hurt. If the applicant is solid that’s what matters.

Would something like “hey, a friend of mine applied to role X and just went through the first round of interviews, i believe he would be a great addition to the team because XYZ” be okay?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?
