Referral... Preferably from a senior person !

The only thing you can really do is get a referral, but referrals only guarantee that a recruiter will actually read your resume. That's it, unless it's from a pretty senior person

I didn’t have a referral and heard back about a different role - I’m assuming I had a lot of auto matches in my resume
