Does J.P. Morgan IBD do Employee Referrals? - JPM SA 2021

Hope you're all doing well. I am recruiting for summer 2021 from a nontarget school. I've heard that JPM doesn't take employee recommendations (cold emailing ppl at the bank to get them to push my resume through the process).

Can anyone confirm this? I get that I should still network so I can name-drop in an interview, but as a nontarget, it's pretty hard to even get to that point without having someone push your resume.

Also, any other insight on the recruitment timeline/process at JPM would be great.

They don’t do referrals. From what I’ve seen, JPM hires diversity candidates from non target schools
