Employee Referral is one of the best way to hire great employees but why employees don't referrer good candidate? Because it is pain. Matching right candidate from their network who not only matches to the current openings at employees company but people in the network are also open and looking for opportunity at the point in time. Then followup with HR/recruiter through email/phones makes the experience horrible. Here comes LI referral. Referral automatically looks into the current opening at the company, and matches automatically with the right candidate in the employees network with matching skills. Just with one click by the employees the candidate is referred, HR/Recruiter get notification and employees gets rewarded. Build a Machine learned based system to find recommendation for (1) Job (2) Referrer & (3) candidate and intersection of it. This product was showcased in LI Talent Connect 2016.This is what I build while at LinkedIn ground up. I was fun journey building a product which I believed in personally and this is why I joined LinkedIn. I also created ATS middleware team ground up.
