"Indirectly" asking for a referral
I know referrals aren't much of a helpful tool, as it can only get me to the interview and thats about it. But I feel like I need all the help I can get. I've been having calls with consultants from the company I'm hoping to get in (MBB firm) but haven't had the guts to say anything remotely related to asking for a referral. Tomorrow I have a call with a consultant with pretty high seniority, highest I've managed to connect with so far. He's from my school btw.
Is it a good idea to make hints at a referral?
If so, how do I approach it indirectly?
Make sure you build a good rapport. Inquire about their hiring program. Ask what they look for in an applicant. Some people I know will just ask if they’d be willing to refer them if the call goes well.
Are these calls you’ve set up yourself? If not, they’re most likely assessing you anyway - I’m at an MBB and after every coffee chat I’ve been asked to do by Talent Acquisition I’ve filled out a mini report card for every person I met.
