Hi all,

Does it matter much if an associate versus project leader refers you to the firm?

Thanks all

In US what level is the person who refers you is not a differentiatior on whether to grant a person an interview or not.

However, if it is a Partner referring your candidacy, it might carry little bit more weight to grant at least a first round interview especially if s/he knows the candidate well and can speak about her/his abilities.

This is because Partners have greater experience and thus usually greater ability to understand whether the candidate is a good fit or not.

Hi,

In short - it does not matter THAT MUCH.

If your resume is strong - it doesn't make a difference. If it is not strong enough and you have some weak points in your resume (unclear career switch, etc) - it might help.

Another advantage is that Project Leaders have a bit more power to check your feedback after the first interview round and provide that information to you.

Best,

Hey,

It sure does matter. Usually the chances increase with the higher designation referal.
