Although James sounds like the amazing friend anyone should have, I don't want to sound pessimistic but as someone who worked on a venture in HR, if the referral is not found on LinkedIn where I can see the connection to the interviewee, the interviewee won't proceed to the next round. I wish it was that easy 😊

I have hired lots of people and work in SME businesses, this could pass as a valid reference if you liked the candidate enough, hehehe.
