#3If I know someone worth referring, I don't need a 30-60 minute meeting to get me to refer them. I'm just going to do it.

I've talked to dozens of companies, and the participation of employees varies wildly. Getting a repeatable recruiting channel through referrals requires tools and effort.
Essentially no one exhausts their contacts too. They stop making referrals for other reasons.
So maybe for your first top-of-mind referral, you'll submit it without even being prompted. The stats show this typically doesn't continue, and recruiting teams need to work to get more.
