With all the recent tech layoff announcements, a few friends and I working in Bigtech figured we can play our part by building a dedicated platform for sharing job referrals especially since referrals played a big role in how each of us landed our own roles. We leverage LLMs to make the referral matching process quicker and more efficient. We’ve launched a prototype so if anyone is interested, feel free to DM me. It’s completely free to use and you can use the app to receive a referral from us!

You understand the point behind a referral is that someone who knows you and can vouch for the quality of your character increases your value for a given role right? If people just start randomly referring people they don’t know, all you are doing is diluting the value of referring in the first place and eventually hiring managers will realize that’s just another scam as well.

Great point! Random referrals are not effective, they have to come from colleagues you worked with directly or indirectly. It can even be with organizations you did work with but more than one engagement.

No option to DM you 🤷‍♀️

Interested as well, but there is no option to DM.

Opposite of what some of the comments say, I referred people that I don’t know. When they reach out to me for a referral, I usually do a video call to learn more about them and make sure it’s a good fit. But you definitely don’t have to work with someone at every company in order to refer them.

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
