[tired birch]

[prime basin]

[deep grotto]

Tried searching up the recruiter in my rejection email

Person doesn't even exist oml

[undone mirage]

@prime basin insane

this is for 2025 swe university grad?

[prime basin]

yeap yeap

[undone mirage]

applied with ref or na

[prime basin]

with

[undone mirage]

oh damn

everyone lied sayin they werent accepting referrals

[dusk hare]

I don't think they are doing referrals for ng

[undone mirage]

2 people said they got referrals

[dusk hare]

At least when I got the referral I didn't see the ng position

[undone mirage]

like im genuinely suprised lmao

[dusk hare]

Not sure how they got it

The process is that you get the referral and then you apply for 3 positions through that link

That link didn't have ng at all

[undone mirage]

even @deft kraken said he got a referral

[undone mirage]

can you still use it?

[dusk hare]

What do you mean? Like can you still apply? I just applied to positions that required some exp instead.

[undone mirage]

like

oh

you alr used it

[dusk hare]

Yeah

I applied for NG through a different account

[undone mirage]

im p they merge accounts lol

wait when did you apply to the new grad?

[dusk hare]

And then they somehow merged the accounts even though all my identifying info was different

[dusk hare]

A day after it came out

[twin moat]

wait so they do send rejection emails?

[deft kraken]

i didnt get a referral taht way

[dusk hare]

Did you get an email saying that you got a referral? Maybe the person you got it from directly reached out to the recruiter but according to my knowledge that was the only way.

[deft kraken]

yeah i did

it also shows up in their referal portal

[deep grotto]

the person referring you can directly apply for you

and you do receive emails, and rejection emails for updates

[dusk hare]

Oh okay

My contact told me that Meta "banned" referring new grads

Maybe it's just not recommended

[deep grotto]

Maybe ppl got rejected bc it's not recommended

But I think @deft kraken was referred and reached out by recruiter

[crude palm]

I got a referral after applying

[undone mirage]

You can still apply a referral?

if youve applied?

[prime basin]

I did the same. Applied myself then the referrer applied on my behalf

[dusk hare]

Yeah this is what I was told by a staff engineer.

But they are new at Meta so who knows

[deft kraken]

prob means they dont consider it in the application process

but gets ur stuff looked at

[undone mirage]

anyways it doesnt matter. lets hope the rest of us hear back this week lol

[crude palm]

i want to know if it helped too

does that mean it helped me get oa or was it just not considered at all

[undone mirage]

I dont think they have reached out to non reachouts from uni recruiters

[thorny hull]

2 of my referrals got reach outs 🤷

[undone mirage]

from their uni recruiter?

also ooga booga, what did you get on your meta oa, and what did you have on your resume

[thorny hull]

I think so

[undone mirage]

i dont think that counts as referrals working ima be honest

[thorny hull]

Yea who knows

[slim sleet]

i think they did for the first day when it rolled out but then disable it

[undone mirage]
