First of all wow, that’s a lot of referrals! Well done!

Having a partner put in a good word for you should be sufficient since they ultimately run the show and recruiters act on their behalf.

Moreover, the recruiter should not be engaging in this kind of discussion with you since there’s a clear conflict of interest and they have no good reason to opening themselves up to any risk.

Seeing that you really want the job, I can offer you to screen your CV for free and provide feedback, if needed (used to screen CVs and interview candidates for McKinsey).

Hey there,

Happy to have a quick look and give you targeted feedback. Just send it through!

Cheers,

Feel free to send it to me to have a quick look

The recruiter has conflict of interest. Not only they won't do it, they will also question your judgement.

If you think this is critical to get the interview, get a professional review by a coach that has experience (as a recruiter) in selecting CVs for the interview. On the other hand, if other coaches already reviewed your CV and the only issue they see is on your target school, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of room for improvement.

Hello!

Well done, that is a very fruitful networking!

Given that you have already verified with HR that the referrals are in place, i wouldn´t do anything else than what they told you to. If then you don´t hear from them in some weeks, follow up with that same HR person. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Congratulations on the referrals en masse!

• Should I do that? No you shouldn't. The recruiter does not have any incentive in your success. Further, the recruiter will have a conflict of interest if they help you in improving your CV because later on they will have to judge the CV to screen it.
• Can I ask the recruiter to review my CV indirectly? Not recommended. You don't want to give the impression that you are not confident of your CV. Plus why would you want to do that if you have been referred by 4 people?

You might to share it with me over message/DM - I can have a quick look and give some preliminary feedback.

Hi!

I don't recommend you to do this as HR cannot help you with this type of request.

Happy to have a look at your CV if needed.

Best,
