Yep. Several months ago I leaned on a friend for a referral. This person is relatively well known in his industry. He’s written books and has spoke at a lot of conferences, and been interviewed by a lot of outlets. I got a personal referral from him, and I didn’t even get a phone call with a recruiter. Crazy.

There's still a lot of luck of the draw.

It certainly helps if the person is the hiring manager or some skip-level of the hiring manager as opposed to just an industry "name."
