Quick summary

Steps

Click the Ask Referral button on the AskReferral platform to begin your referral request.
Fill in the popup form with your Current Company, Role, and Referral Company details.
Enter the Job link for the position you are targeting.
Go to LinkedIn and copy the Job link by clicking the share icon on the specific job post.

📌 Why this matters

AskReferral solves one of the biggest barriers in job searching — getting a warm referral at a target company — by automating the outreach process in a single submission. Instead of cold-messaging strangers on LinkedIn, job seekers can pitch their profile directly to hiring managers, recruiters, company employees, and college alumni all at once. This dramatically increases the chances of landing an interview, since referred candidates are significantly more likely to be hired than applicants who apply cold. For anyone actively job hunting, AskReferral turns a time-consuming networking effort into a one-click referral campaign.
