How it's used

Carries a stronger sense of personal backing and social capital than the more neutral 推薦. Using this implies you are putting your own reputation on the line to vouch for someone's character or ability. It is frequently used in professional or networking contexts where a personal connection is the key to getting a foot in the door.

Common phrases

to recommend talent

ging1經jan4人jan5引zin3薦

introduced by someone

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 介紹, which is a general introduction. 引薦 specifically implies a recommendation or endorsement, suggesting that the person being introduced is being put forward for a specific role or opportunity.
