Looking for a referral for BDO !
You should always let the referral happen first, but communicate with the person that put in your referral to confirm status. Some companies do not need you to apply to the position if a referral has already been put in for you.
Thank you!
Either you can put the referral name in the application or notify the person that is doing the referral that you would like to be referred to the position. If I do it, I complete the referral from my end and the person receives an email with a link to the application to complete. If you do it ahead of time without the referral I am unable to submit the application because its already been completed. Sometimes HR can change the referral status but it's much easier if this is done ahead of time. Hope this helps.
In my case, when I refer individuals, I ask for their resume and job IDs. I share those directly with HR. Usually I have a call with HR a couple times a week to discuss the referrals. HR reminds me that the applicants do not need to apply after being referred, as the resume was accepted as the application through the referral process. Like you stated, some companies allow the applicants to include the name and email of the person that referred them in their application. I have noticed this process varies wildly from company to company. To play it safe, please let the person that is referring you lead the way, it will be to your benefit! (As an aside, I am referring candidates to #Peraton currently)
