Chief
If they were qualified for the role and if they weren't going to be on my team, sure I'd refer them. If it truly is a toxic environment and not just one disgruntled employee's opinion, the right thing to do would be to alert the person being referred, but if they're out of work there's a good chance they'd take the job anyway.
I will only refer people who I think will do well, my professional reputation is worth more than a bonus that I'm not even likely to get.
That’s not a friend.
Always down for referral bonus as long as the person I know doesn't suck. Even people I haven't worked with, like one person from highschool messaged me for referral, I never worked with them but I didn't have any negative experience with them so I put in the referral. On the other hand, I worked with this guy who was shit and did crappy work, he asked for a referral and of course I didn't refer him.
Pro
If someone asked me for a referral, I might be open to it but would definitely inform them of my thoughts / experience ahead of time.
Trust is key in referrals, especially when bonuses are involved. For technical interview prep, using PracHub can help you get ready for tough questions and avoid toxic companies by knowing what to expect.
