Hey folks, question about applying for a role in Spotify (Sweden).
Does having a referral make a big difference to get your application reviewed?

I'm currently in Canada and planning to move to Sweden soon so applied for a few spots however I don't have even the slightest idea if
a) applying from Ca will actually get my application tossed out the window
b) I've heard there are gazillion ppl applying so if referral gets me on the radar, instead wasting time just find someone to refer me?

Reference is the way to get interview, but from interview process will be the same. It’s depend on your skills and experience.

Reference is not everything ,specially if the company is good size big corporation. Hope you good luck get the role you want. Bless bless

This.

Referrals are great, but if they can't be backed up (e.g. by an actual, legitimate relationship between referrer/referee), then they don't typically hold a lot of weight. That said, it can't hurt, so if you can manage to get one, I'd say go for it.
