It could be one of two things.

1) you aren’t as good as you think you are
2) you are as good as you think you are, and there are people better, who are getting selected instead of you

A referral doesn’t do anything except help ensure that a recruiter looks at your resume.

Maybe you're not selling yourself enough? Almost everyone meets all qualifications. But some have incredible previous experience, great projects to show, won impressive awards, or have "something more" like volunteering at a NGO etc.
If you have the right skills, experience, and values, then it might be that your application is not representative of who you are.
I remember a very talented friend who applied with an ugly CV and never got any interview. As soon as we fixed it, he got a job in less than a month.
Do you have a mentor? Did they give you feedback on your application? 😊
