Usually one strong referral is enough. Multiple referrals do not automatically stack into a stronger application.

Choose the person who knows you best or is most relevant to the role, then thank the other person for offering.

If two referrals are already in motion, do not panic. Recruiting systems can often handle multiple internal recommendations, but the mechanics vary.

The value comes from credible context about you, not from the number of people who click a referral button. For more context on why referral quality matters more than quantity, see the guide to how many consulting referrals you need.

I used the person who actually knew my work instead of collecting two referrals.

I'd avoid turning referrals into a numbers game.
