[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I refer friends constantly. Last year, I hired 14 people from my personal contacts. [/quote] For what types of positions? I'm a lawyer and would never hire someone based on a personal relationship. Maybe a previous work relationship, but not social. [/quote] I'm a lawyer, and got my current job and offer for the next one both through professional networking. For my current job, Internal networking at my old biglaw firm gave me experience working with a variety of partners, and those contacts provided great references and other professional contacts. One of those contacts had a spouse at my current firm, and put me in touch. The recommendation was a professional one based on real experience with me, but networking nonetheless. [/quote]
