Interesting. So instead of recommending your friends, you would be recommending best-suited companies to your friends? I have seen a few of my friends do that when they are helping someone with a job switch.

Exactly. Then I don't have to give up my friend's contact info without permission.

Thats good point.. what was the name of that company that shared the candidate assessment data with companies without their permission?

I do exactly this. I get pings from time to time for a position that is a good fit for one of my friends, but does not interest me personally.

I'm far enough in my career that I can be picky and I don't mind the job search taking 3-6 months of mostly passive search.
