Recruiters usually just glance at resumes, but if someone has an internal referral, what do recruiters look for then?
Do they pay extra attention to those resumes?

Yes, referrals help. When a resume is referred, I take more time to review it. I look for relevant work, clear experience, and why the referrer recommended them. It does not guarantee an interview, but it does get more attention.

like

What are some common reason why the referrer recommends someone? Is it more "I've worked with this guy" or is it "I know this guy has x and y skills that can help"?

They just take a look. If there’s no referral, there may not even be any consideration. That referral guarantees resume review
