If a contact vouches to HR for you...

..and you have a decent resume with relevant experience but are from a non-target. Can you at least get a phone interview if I have also networked with HR? This is for Asset Management at a top firm. Are my odds greater now/is at least a first round phone interview guaranteed?

OR is it just that I now have a stronger chance of getting a first round phone interview, but again nothing is guaranteed

 

Prob depends on how high your contact is and what your resume looks like in general.
