So I may not have a problem with jobs, but many of my friends do, especially a few talented ones that I know would perform fantastically almost anywhere. I tell these friends I will help them out, but I'm still not sure the best way to help them.

If they know the company they want to work for, that's easy. But what about people who just want a job in a specific industry (i.e. consulting, start-ups)? Do you message a group of friends? Share it via social media? Figure out where they would fit in and call your friends at those places?

I'd like to know so I can be helpful to these really talented friends.
