[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend just interviewed for a position in my agency. Although it was a position in my part of the agency, it wasnt in my direct office and I dont know the supervisor with whom she interviewed.

Would it be acceptable/appropriate for me to send the interviewer an email recommending her? Like "I understand just just interviewed X for X position.  I just wanted to offer my personal recommendation as I know both the applicant and the office and am sure she would be a great employee."

If it matters,  I am currently on maternity leave so would need to send the email from my personal email, rather than the office email.

I would make the email as professional and objective as possible, and give concrete examples and even other off list references for them to try.  Then back out of the picture unless asked.

Someone here tried to refer his buddy from his previous job and the search got ridiculous. He would veto anyone else and then accolade his under experienced friend. What a joke. [/quote]
