position and budget to hire her.
Why Do Hiring Managers Prefer Referred
Candidates?

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.
