Would you ever split that referral bonus? Amongst my friend group it's pretty common to 50/50 it.

  With who? The person I referred? Why would I do that?

    Yes, with the person you referred. Who else?
    • schwartzworld 3y ago
      In that case no. Why would you do that?

        The candidate is certainly putting in more work than you are for that money, no? It feels like a kind thing to do when you’re being given money for little more than an email. It’s a win-win for both parties. Conversely, I wouldn’t expect a signing bonus for the new hire to be shared, so take that as you will.

          > The candidate is certainly putting in more work than you are for that money, no? No. I don't understand why they would have any claim on it. Typically when I interview, I'm looking forward to my potential salary. It wouldn't occur to me to try and take someone else's bonus. > It’s a win-win for both parties. It's not a win for me if I have to give away half of a bonus I earned. Or are you saying that a competitive salary isn't enough of a win for the referee? I'm curious, how many times have you personally been involved in a transaction like this? You've given away referral bonuses? People have given their bonuses to you?
