Does anyone have ANY recommendations for referral platform?

Cold application is fairly useless in today's age and time. A referral puts your application much ahead in the pool so that a human actually reads it.

Blind used to be a tolerable place until they made it exclusively US-centric. Importantly, I really loved their side product - Rooftop Slushie - where you could have resume reviews, interview prep, and get trusted referrals for a small sum. They seem to have closed that though.
