IB SA ‘27 Referral Questions

Many bankers from variety of banks have me approval to put their name down for the “employee referral” section when applying. I was wondering if that helps at all? They never asked for my resume so I am assuming they never pushed my resume
to HR directly but wondering if that helps at all?
