Passed on a lead and they got the job - what worked for you?

I referred a former colleague for a role at my new company. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I was nervous but it went well. Thank you for the advice that got me here.

Nice work. Referrals count for a lot.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
