For completeness, there should probably be an "I know a guy" in the A tier, though admittedly that isn't really available until you've been working for at least a few years.

Where's walking into the store, demanding to speak to the owner, looking him straight in the eye and giving him a firm handshake while insisting you'll be the best employee he's ever hired?

Just kidding, they'll just look at you weird and tell you to check the F tier platforms.

My old professor called and asked me if I was looking for a job because one of the company he was freelancing for wanted him to come over full time. He told me to apply and he'd vouch for me. I got the job.

I've known a few coworkers throughout the years who have reached out after they left where we worked "hey man it's better over here." put in a good word for me and boom.

not sure if that is A or B though. all corporate jobs.

Good to know you're actively screwed if your parents disowned you.

A is “I’m good friends with the guy” B is “My good friend knows a guy”

ye its called nepotism

Or being SSS and becoming self employed.

A tier may have to be “I used to work with the guy”

As someone that's rode on nepotism jobs my entire adult life, I agree lol. It sure does make the interviewing process easier.

Yall have dads?

I actually got what I would consider A tier for my first job. I walked into the local pizzeria, they handed me a job form, I completed it and gave it back, then the owner of the pizzeria did my interview right then and there, and I started working the next day.

That guy gave me a glimpse of what the "good ole days" must've felt like.

G- Guys can I just get the job. This is dumb.

what about #getfedihired?

also moms can also know guys!

Does anyone's dad know of anyone hiring

You can take out Glassdoor and SimplyHired because they're both owned by Indeed.

Does an uncle count as dad knows a guy?

I think LinkedIn should go to Z---.

"The guy is scared of my dad"

Even those don’t even work anymore

Shameless Self-promotion
