From what I've seen, the point is to convince an acquaintance or alumni (even if you didn't explicitly know them) to give you referral so that they can get ahead of the online application madness. Happens quite frequently, checkout blind where people are constantly asking for referrals (and many giving them to random strangers).

Instead they wrap their requests into invites to connect, get bounced and I don't know if this still a thing but Linkedin used to throttle your ability to send invites if you get enough rejections... But thanks for explaining, I used to be completely mystified by this behavior.
