[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 184073, member: 2672"] I think you have to determine whether you have a relationship with the individual rather than just knowing them. If the latter, you could still include the people you have spoken to (this is very common) but they are looking for more of a substantial connection. The reason for this question is it helps identify the internal person. It tends to go a little haywire when HR/Graduate Recruitment don't know about the connection - the internal person can often be asking for updates on application statuses (which is even more difficult to manage with GDPR) or want to know why their connection was unsuccessful. It can also ensure compliance with any anti-nepotism policies. Some firms do not allow relatives of people of a certain seniority to apply for jobs within the firm (especially partners). It can also help identify and client connections which often need more considerations - e.g. relationship partners for major clients want to know if you are going to turn down their client's son/daughter. So don't worry about it from your perspective - it is really just being used to manage firm processes rather than it being something about you. [/QUOTE]
