Referral Request That Is Easy to Say Yes To

Before after Has example

Ask for a referral with context and no pressure.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Write a referral request. The job posting and company: [JOB_COMPANY]. The person I am asking and how well we know each other: [CONTACT_RELATIONSHIP]. My strongest match to the role: [MATCH_EVIDENCE]. Whether they have worked with me: [WORKED_TOGETHER].

Produce a message of under 130 words that gives the job link, a three-line summary of why I fit, and an easy way to say no. Add a one-page attachment text for them: my resume summary, three bullet points they can use, and the exact steps for submitting a referral if the company has a process. Draft a reply for when they say they cannot refer me, and a thank-you note for when they do. Remind me to ask only people who can speak truthfully about my work, and not to pressure anyone.

Add a version for a contact I barely know, and one for a close friend, noting how directness and detail should change.

Add a note about asking at the right time, before applying, and about not asking the same person for repeated referrals in a short period.

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

Message (112 words, trimmed): 'Hi Tom, I saw an Operations Analyst role at your company (link). I think it fits my experience: I cut report preparation time by half at my current company. Would you be comfortable referring me? No worries if not. Below are three bullet points you can paste.
- Five years in operations analytics
- Built weekly KPI dashboard for 40 sites
- Led a process change that reduced errors by 20 percent [my figure]
Thanks either way.'
If he declines: 'Thank you for being honest. I appreciate it.'
