What’s Next?
Your friend will receive an email from noreply@findly.com with a subject line such as: Candice referred you to CA Technologies!
 This email will be sent to the account associated with the social network or email address you used to refer your friend
 If your friend does not receive this email right away, please ensure they check their spam or quarantine.
When your friend clicks CHECK IT OUT, they have the option to be referred or not.
Until your friend clicks REFER ME and completes their profile, the company will not be able to view your referral.
You will receive a notification email to let you if your friend has accepted your referral or not.
In these examples, you can see Candice declined the referral for Human Resources, but accepted the referral for Child Care.
Now that Candice has accepted the referral, the company can view her profile in the Talent Community.
