Nov 1, 2016 at 19:05 comment added Victor Zakharov If you are a technical person and find a person who you don't know, but they may be a good fit for a technical position, with whom you will work later, you'd better recommend them, as opposed to another person you don't know, who was recommended by a non-technical person (HR, sales etc). ))
Nov 1, 2016 at 13:58 comment added Mathematics @dan1111 Like I said outcome of doing so is different in different situations, hence my general advise is to stay away from doing so. Don't forget there are HR's that don't like sourcing..
Nov 1, 2016 at 13:55 comment added user45590 -1 for the warning not to send strangers' CVs. There is no downside to doing so, and the fact that the OP had a brief conversation with them and thought they were worth considering is useful information to HR. As the OP notes, the exact same thing happens at recruitment events and is considered standard.
Nov 1, 2016 at 12:56 comment added Casey Well, in my opinion, he is reading more into HR's response than is there.
Nov 1, 2016 at 7:19 comment added Mathematics @Casey If there is no problem then why OP asked a question about it ? Obliviously in different scenarios output will be different for what OP did... hence the best way to deal with such cases has been suggested by me
Oct 31, 2016 at 18:19 comment added Casey At no point did he represent them as people he could really vouch for... what's the problem?
