"Do you know of any open positions?" is asking someone else to do an unknown amount work for you.
"Can you introduce me to the hiring manager so I could ask some questions?" is asking them to do a specific small favor.
"Can you implicitly endorse that I will do good work for your company?" is asking them to lie on your behalf.

There is a gradation from people who will tell everyone they know that the most hire you if they can, to people who will finally cough up a name with the request that you not mention their own name. Depending on their opinion of you.
