I think there is a lot of improvement can be done in the employee referrals portal that are used in companies. I am thinking connecting employees from linkedin and using the connection endorsements suggest best referrals based on job profile.
Could be! You do raise a good, unexplored space of connecting and monetizing referrals. I've been working with a few HR startup types and I do know that this would be valuable resource.
The trick is the angle you take - is this 'buddies helping buddies' in a quiet, hidden informal way, or is this sponsored by and for the organization and routed through the recruiter?
Another dimension is intra-company as well as inter-company referrals - wall street and finance businesses have a lot of inter-connections and this could be an interesting connective.
I'd love to offer more suggestions over a phone call! Your purpose and qualifications will make our strategy more concrete.
Best,
Arjun.
