Employee Referrals

An effective way to get an interview opportunity at Intuit is by having an employee referral. You can reach out to people who are working at Intuit and ask for a referral. It is one of the best ways to join Intuit. You can find employees working in Intuit on LinkedIn.

There are three steps to receiving a successful LinkedIn referral:

• Find the right person.
   
• Send the right message.
   
• Do follow-up
   

Finding the Right Person

Step 1: Find people who work in Intuit.

Step 2: You should prefer people who work in the same field. For example, if you are a front-end developer, you should ask another front-end developer to refer you to the available position. Based on your CV and skills, they can make a better decision about you.

Step 3: You can only send messages to a certain number of people on LinkedIn. People who have been active on LinkedIn in the last month are preferred. In this context, activity refers to a like/comment/post/share.

Writing the Message

To choose what to send, follow these DOs and DONTs.

• Let's skip the small talk and get right to the topic. Don't start a conversation by saying "Hi" and then waiting for the other person to react.
   
• Give proper context. Don't just ask, "Can you refer me?" without providing any background.
   
• Maintain the message's informational nature. Please provide the job id and URL of the position in your message (from the company career page, LinkedIn, etc.).
   
• You must sell yourself. Mention anything you want to show off. For example, any technical talks you've given, open-source contributions you've done, your personal website, and so on.
   
• Make a template. A proper referral message template containing the above points will make applying to many opportunities easier.
   

Following up on Messages

When you send messages for referrals, you’ll soon be receiving multiple responses. 

People are busy and may not react or even read your message immediately. If you do not receive a response, send a follow-up message in a few days. Send no more than 2-3 follow-ups over the course of 10-15 days. If that still doesn't work, look for someone else to refer you to.
