Help! Sensitive situation with referrals

Definitely don't withdraw your application. You should have your application screened as per the usual process as there is a formal deadline and if you are able to get someone in the local office to also refer you then great but it's not as big of a make-or-break factor as I feel you are imagining.

Fingers crossed!

Hi, I confirm to do not cancel your application. Only try to be supported in it from the partner so that the invitation process can be accelerated

Why don't you just tell the partner that you have already applied? If they are impressed with you, they'll reach out to HR to refer you post-factum.

Hello!

Don´t worry, is not a big deal.

Don´t withdraw and talk to the people. When they offer to refer, tell them you are already in the system and ask for advise on how to proceed.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hi there,

be honest with the partner and explain the situation to him. There is still a chance that his support will have an impact.

Fingers crossed!

Hi there,

I would keep your application AND talk to them.

It doesn't hurt to expand your network (newsflash: networking doesn't end just when you get a referral to a company!)

But, when you do talk to them, note that you've already applied but are just looking to better understand x.
