From my understanding, referrals are typically more helpful if you get them before you apply. Does anyone have any advice or experience in referral processes at specific firms? I'm coming up on senior year and FT recruiting. I want to get an understanding of:
1. How helpful is the internal referral for the firm in question? Does it get you close to a first round?
2. What is the referral process? Is it internal and attached to your application, or is it an internal note that then asks you to apply?
3. How can I help you get a referral bonus? Do I need to wait for the employee to refer me to apply (do not apply before hand).
Interested in MBB/T2/EYP S&. Thanks

Thanks! I've gotten some responses for "I'll refer you internally, and they send me forward to HR with my resume attached. Sometimes else, they mention pushing it forward internally via the ATS. This will happen at the same company (>1000 consulting employees), so I know that they have both systems in place. Generally, which is the stronger referral?
