Referral finder: get a job referral at any company

The myjobb referral finder is a tool that finds people at the company you want to join who are likely to refer you. It searches public LinkedIn profiles through Google, keeps only people who work there now, ranks the best ten by shared college, past employer, role and city, and drafts your referral request.

001How it works

How the referral finder works

Six steps, from a company name to people you can actually message. You watch every one of them happen in a live feed.

  1. Pick the company

    Click Find referrals on any job in your myjobb feed, type a company name on the Referrals page, or ask the agent on WhatsApp.

  2. It reads your background

    Your colleges, past employers, industry, surname, city, top skills and the role you are targeting become the search signals.

  3. Up to seven Google searches

    It searches Google for public LinkedIn profiles at the company: alumni, ex-colleagues, surname and city, role and city, the role itself, recruiters and HR, and founders when the company has under 250 people.

  4. Shortlist, then read in full

    Gemini scores every search snippet, the strongest 30 profiles are read in full, and anyone who no longer works at the company is dropped.

  5. Ranked like a recruiter would

    Each remaining person gets a 0 to 100 score and a one-line reason. The top 10 keep two or three recruiters and at most two founders.

  6. You reach out

    Draft a LinkedIn DM plus a short pitch they can forward, or find a verified work email and send a cold email sequence from your own Gmail or Outlook.

002Who it picks

Ranked the way a senior recruiter would

Gemini reads each full profile next to yours and asks two questions: will this person answer a cold message from you, and can they credibly refer you? It is told never to invent a tie. Five strong names beat ten padded ones.

Counts for

  • Went to your college
  • Worked at one of your past employers
  • Does the role you are applying for
  • Joined the company in the last 12 months
  • Within about two years of your experience
  • Shares your surname and your city
  • Works in recruiting or talent acquisition there

Counts against

  • Interns and very junior profiles
  • Directors, VPs and CXOs who rarely answer cold
  • Anyone who has already left the company
  • Profiles that read like sales or coaching pitches
  • A different city from you and the job

Someone in a different city from both you and the job is capped at 40, whatever else they share with you.

A balanced top 10, every time

Two or three recruiters, because answering candidates is their job. Up to two founders at companies under 250 people. The rest are peers who share your story.

003What you send

A first message that sounds like you

You stay the sender. myjobb drafts; you read it, change what you like, and send it yourself. Nothing goes out from your LinkedIn on its own.

  • Written from the strongest tie

    The DM opens with the one thing you genuinely share, names the role, and ends with a low-pressure ask. 120 to 160 words, no "hope this finds you well".

  • A pitch they can forward

    Two or three sentences the referrer can paste into their internal referral form or send to their recruiter.

  • Their work email, if you want it

    Find email checks likely addresses against the company's mail server. Found addresses become contacts you can add to a cold email sequence sent from your own Gmail or Outlook.

  • Or just ask on WhatsApp

    Ask the myjobb agent for referrals at a company and the top five arrive in the chat when the search finishes.

Ananya R Employee

Backend Engineer II, Payments · Razorpay

For LinkedIn

Hi Ananya,

VIT to Razorpay payments is the exact path I am trying to take, so your profile stood out. I am a backend engineer with four years on Java and Kafka, most recently rebuilding the settlement service at a Bengaluru fintech, which cut failed payouts by a third.

I have applied for the Backend Engineer II role on the payments team. You would know better than anyone whether that background fits what the team needs right now.

Would you be open to a quick referral, or a 10-minute chat first if you would rather judge for yourself? Either way, thanks for reading.

For Ananya to forward

Rahul is a backend engineer with four years on Java and Kafka who rebuilt a fintech settlement service and cut failed payouts by a third. He has applied for Backend Engineer II on payments, and we both studied at VIT.

004The facts

The referral finder at a glance

What it covers, where its limits are, and what it will never do on your behalf.

myjobb referral finder: coverage, limits, safety and price
What you getUp to 10 people who currently work at the company: employees, two or three recruiters or HR, and up to two founders. Each comes with a 0 to 100 score, the shared signals and a one-line reason.
Where people come fromGoogle search results for public LinkedIn profiles, then the public profile itself. Profiles read in the last 30 days are reused.
Signals it matches onCollege, past employers, industry, surname, city, skills, years of experience and your target role.
Location ruleA referrer must be in your city or the job's city. Same metro counts (Gurgaon and Noida are Delhi NCR); remote or unknown is not penalised.
FoundersSearched only at companies under 250 employees, or when the size is unknown.
MessagesA 120 to 160 word LinkedIn DM and a two or three sentence pitch the referrer can forward to their recruiter. You copy and send them.
Work emailOptional lookup: likely address patterns checked against the mail server, with a second provider as fallback. Needs the company's website. Found emails are kept for 30 days.
What it does not doIt never logs in to your LinkedIn, never sends a DM or connection request for you, and cannot promise that anyone refers you.
FreshnessEvery search runs again from scratch, so the list reflects who works there today. A second click within five minutes reuses the search already running.
PriceIncluded with Pro and Max (from ₹999 a month, GST included, prepaid and never auto-renewing). Each company you search counts once per month.

005Compared honestly

Referral finder vs searching LinkedIn yourself vs referral apps

Searching LinkedIn by hand is free and works, slowly. Referral apps such as Reffconnect, InterviewChaCha and ReferMee connect you with employees who signed up to refer. The referral finder starts from your own background instead, and covers anyone with a public profile at the company.

006Questions

Job referral questions, answered straight

How do I find someone to refer me at a company?

Look for people who share something real with you: your college, a past employer, your city or the role you want. The myjobb referral finder does this search for you. It runs up to seven Google searches over public LinkedIn profiles at the company, reads the strongest 30 in full, and returns the 10 people most likely to refer you, each with the reason.

Does myjobb send the referral message for me?

No. It drafts the LinkedIn DM and a short pitch the referrer can forward, and you copy and send them yourself. myjobb never logs in to your LinkedIn and never sends a message or connection request on it. If you find someone's work email, you can add them to a cold email sequence that sends from your own Gmail or Outlook.

Is a referral finder safe for my LinkedIn account?

The myjobb referral finder does not touch your LinkedIn account. It finds people through Google search results for public LinkedIn profiles and reads those public profiles, so there is no login, no browser extension and nothing that acts as you on LinkedIn.

Who should I ask for a referral, a recruiter or an employee?

Both. Peers who share your college or a past employer are the warmest path, and recruiters reply most often because answering candidates is their job. Every myjobb list keeps two or three recruiters in the top 10, and at small companies (under 250 people) up to two founders.

What should a job referral request message say?

Lead with the one real thing you share, name the exact role, and end with a low-pressure ask such as a quick referral or a 10-minute chat. myjobb drafts a 120 to 160 word DM on that pattern, avoids lines like "hope this finds you well", and adds a two or three sentence pitch the referrer can paste into their internal referral form.

Can I get an employee's work email for a referral?

Often, yes. Click Find email and myjobb tries the likely address patterns for that person at the company's domain, checks them against the mail server, and falls back to a second provider. It needs the company's website to work, and an email found once is kept for 30 days.

Does the referral finder work for freshers with no network?

Yes. Your college is one of the strongest signals, so alumni at the company are searched first, and recruiters are always included. You do not need an existing contact; a shared college or city is enough to start a conversation.

How much does the myjobb referral finder cost?

It is included with the Pro and Max plans, which start at ₹999 a month with GST included and never auto-renew, and each company you search counts once per month. The 20 free applications you get on sign-up are for applying, not referral searches.
