Could you please refer me at your company?

John: Could you please refer me at your company?

Carter: No, I don't refer or suggest or recommend anyone at my company. I can inform you when interviews take place.

John: Who refereed or gave reference of Ann at your company? Who got her appointed there?

Carter: Okay, I have to leave now.

In the first two, I would use to not at. I would say who was Ann's referee.

John: Who was Ann's referee at your company (is it correct to use 'at your company' here?)? Who got her appointed there?

Carter: Okay, I have to leave now.

Can we say "who recommended/ suggested/ referred/ her to your company?"

Can we say "who recommended/suggested/referred her to your company?"

Yes. Don't put a space on either side of a slash. Don't use a slash after a list of options.

Who was Ann's referee at your company (is it correct to use 'at your company' here?)? Who got her appointed there? How about these?

I wouldn't use any of this. I especially wouldn't call someone a referee unless they were wearing a black-and-white striped uniform.

Would you serve as a reference for me? Who was/were Ann's reference(s)?

"Please provide the details of two referees" is common on job application forms in the UK.

Is "referee" incorrect or correct in this context?

 

[SoothingDave]

In the US, you would be asked for "references." Apparently, "referees" is used in this context in the UK.

In the UK, you might be asked for references or referees. The "reference" is the actual letter/email/phone call from the person who knows you and is (hopefully) going to say good things about you. The "referee" is the person who knows you.

In AmE, references in the only correct choice. Referees would not be understood.

Good to know that- I learn something new about AmE most days here.
