People do this all the time. There are referral bonuses to be had.

Yeah, people do it all the time, they just aren't as strong as a true referral. Input someone into a talent tracking system or give a referral link. Recruiters still look at your profile and will filter it out if you are not strong enough on paper.
Direct referrals made to a recruiter with a strong, honest, recommendation message go a lot farther.
