One of three things:

1. I’ll make a recommendation, but only on the basis of what I do know about them. There’s value in that too.

2. I’ll just ignore the request (people who know me know how insanely busy I am).

3. I’ll tell them that I value their friendship, but at the moment I don’t have enough experience with them professionally to recommend their work.

As far as quid pro quo… maybe, but what’s wrong with that? If two people actually worked together successfully, why wouldn’t both of them endorse each other? If I were looking, I might be more concerned if one of them didn’t endorse the other one back, if they were co-workers or something.

Or you know them from college but not on-the-job? If you proactively give a recommendation, and someone gives one back, doesn't it look like quid pro quo? Linkedin doesn't make giving/getting recommendations easy.

If you proactively give a recommendation, and someone gives one back, doesn’t it look like quid pro quo?

Linkedin doesn’t make giving/getting recommendations easy.
