Depends how the partner refers you, and their relationship with the person receiving the referral.
Email with personal description = interview
Less than that - could go either way

I'd be more shocked if you didn't get the job.

Agreed the job isn’t guaranteed but an interview (especially with recruiters) usually is

I got referred by a MDP at BCG and cracked the interview. But I can’t join as I need a geography change due to sudden change in personal circumstances. But same MDP is happy to provide a referral for me to the MDP in the new firm. And I didn’t know any MDPs before. So yes it depends how they know you, but also how you carry the relationship forward.
