Are referrals the new references?

I think I've been asked to provide a ref list maybe twice ever. Definitely struggling to get into a new role with and without referrals.

Hi guys! Had a call with a recruiter and they asked for my email to send me the link to apply. Haven’t heard since the initial call, thinking I might have failed the screening call.

After some research I got interested, but haven’t articulated that clearly enough on my call (didn’t expect I was going to be asked questions and thought I would just hear about openings).
