[quote=Anonymous][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] All sorts. Mostly finance. They don't report to me. I get them the interview, they have to get past it. The interviews are highly analytical. Maybe 1 in 10 make it. I have no problem giving a friend a leg up to try their hands at it. They make it - they did so on their own merits. I only open the door. [/quote] Networking does not necessarily mean a personal or social relationship. It just means that you know someone. It could be from any setting. I happened to know some headhunters professionally. I met them through networking. That's how I got my last senior level job.[/quote]
