I referred my friend for a role in my company and she got laid off. 2 years later she’s asking me to refer again. Need advice!
So I referred one of my close friends for a role in my same team and she got fired from the company in a less than a year due to performance. I have been in the company for almost 4 years now and got promoted a few times and earned good visibility with the leadership team.
In the mean time, she got another job and got fired from that job as well. She’s been looking for a job for many months. Now that her EI is cut off, she desperately needs the money. So she found a job posting in my company and she’s asking me to refer her again.
I asked her to contact the director of the department through LinkedIn and talk to her about it. But the director never responded. So she’s back to square one. I feel like this is also jeopardising my role since she’s already been referred by me and was fired. I’m not sure if this is a good idea or I’m just overthinking it.
Please pardon my English, not my first language and my brain is not braining on a Friday afternoon.
