Yes - it will guarantee a recruiter will review it (usually within a few days after a googler enters it in a system). As the other commenter stated, it’ll then depends on how strong your resume is and how much of a fit it is with the role you’ve picked. Usually if a googler knows you well, they’ll be able to help you pick the right role (level, team fit, etc) which also helps boost your odds of success
