When she met the CEO she was referred to, Tracy found out that they had just completed hiring all positions.
But Tracy confidently articulated her value to the CEO and demonstrated that she was indispensable. They found a leadership
position and budget to hire her.
Why Do Hiring Managers Prefer Referred
Candidates?
1) Hiring managers prefer a referred candidate. If they have articulated their business impact, they can uncover opportunities and budget.
2) It's less risky for the company to hire a professional that is recommended and they usually stay longer.
3) You increase your chances of getting hired by 5X when referred to the company and hiring
manager through your network.
