How referrals could be impactful on passing the screening?

Question

I’m a vendor at Microsoft and currently seeking FTE role, if one of my FTE co-worker referred my resume, will this help me to secure an interview?

I have 18 months contract and trying to take advantage of my presence at MS.

Any help would be appreciated.

The referral should help. Since you're a vendor, you'd be considered an external hire so the referral should put your resume towards the top of the list as it would for any other referral.

I got to stage 1 recruiting with Meta, Microsoft, and Crowdstrike with references. I had one for Google, but they never called. Crowdstrike recruiting was very enthusiastic for me. Meta seems to have strict in-person for your first year. Microsoft just doesn't seem to care for me because they haven't reached back.
