As far as I know referral is just a guarantee that you will be called back after they see your CV. It doesn&#x27;t guarantee you getting hired. I&#x27;ve referred plenty of people and a lot of them never got hired or even failed the screening phone call.<p>It just means &quot;hey, try out this guy&quot; and they won&#x27;t be throwing away your CV into the pile of hundreds of thousands of CVs they get every year. You still need to go through everything like everyone else.
