You would hope so, but it doesn't seem so in today's job market. Have you seen how many applicants are on open SWE job postings these days?

Anecdotely, I’m in the interview pool at my mid size company. Our offer to application ratio is 0.4% with over 7000 applications. We are a fully remote company.

I have personally referred 6 people who I know are qualified. Only two got interviews and no offers.

Hell my offer to referral ratio was 50% at AWS. The job market really sucks right now
