The company gets to hire some good engineers who in turn probably get a salary bump and improved job satisfaction, and you get to work with someone you like. Anyone who is not amenable to being poached can easily avoid being contacted. Which part do you find creepy?

- kevinskii 13y agoI agree. I skimmed the article before I made my parent comment. While I have no problems with my company asking me for selective referrals, I would never let a recruiter sit next to me at my workstation and build a spam database of my contacts regardless of the source.

If you want to sit down with me and go line by line through my linked in network you'll have to pay me above and beyond my normal compensation just for the leads, more money if it results in a hire. That's basically what LinkedIn is about. You're not going to be going through my facebook for any price. That's akin to inviting over your friends for dinner as a guise for your new multi-level marketing scheme. Not happening.
