In my experience, recommendations aren't very common in programming, unless you're talking about referrals by former supervisors/colleagues to some job opening.

Have others had a different experience?
- jmchuster 8y agoRecommendations really only come into play when you're talking about the best engineers. In which case, you're effectively no longer interviewing, just getting people in your network who say they must hire you or tell other people in their networks they must hire you.

- jnbiche 8y agoI would consider those as more referrals, not recommendations (which implies the traditional job recommendation process).
