You're missing a referral.

  I’m not sure. I was referred by an employee several times at Shopify for instance and it did nothing for me. A referral in a lot of places is just so that the company knows who to give the referral bonus to if you’re hired but it doesn’t give you any kind of edge.

    Usually a referral guarantees someone at least looks at the resume.

    The nature of the referral matters. If the referral comes from a respected engineer known to the hiring manager and the candidate is a good fit for the open position, things can move pretty quickly. If it's just a name thrown into a pot or entered into a form in some internal system, there isn't a whole lot of internal pressure.

    A strong referral can get you hired even if you fail the interview.
