Yes. Helps more if that employee knows the person in charge of deciding if you get an interview or not and they put in a few good words.

They don’t “not matter”, that’s for sure. How much they do matter likely depends on the size of the office, the person giving the referral (how close they are to recruiting team/partners, how performing or established they are within their level,..), and other factors (eg current business needs and talent pool, etc)
