FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a multi-message referral request sequence for a specific role?▼

You automate a referral request sequence by providing the target person, role link, and relationship context to generate three coordinated outreach messages. This produces an initial ask, a referral push, and hiring manager identification guidance.

What should I include in an initial referral ask to an existing connection?▼

An initial referral ask should reference your last interaction and align with your relationship strength. The generated message includes a ready-to-use copy-paste blurb for the referrer to easily submit your referral.

How do I follow up with a connection after they agree to refer me?▼

You follow up with a strong referral push message that nudges your connection to send a direct ping to the hiring manager. The sequence then provides a third message for hiring manager identification if the HM is unknown.

Can I generate outreach messages if I don't know the hiring manager for a role?▼

Yes, the referral request sequence generates an alternative path message specifically for when the hiring manager is unknown. This message guides your referrer through the hiring manager identification process.

How do I track follow-up actions for a networking referral request?▼

You track referral follow-up actions by using the structured plan generated with your outreach messages. This plan provides specific follow-up tasks and tracker updates to log in your connection-tracker.md file.
