I know a lot of pilots, myself included, who have recommended lots of candidates with great resumes who are really good pilots, people and fits for the company/group who never got more than a "fix it" email if that. I know of others who did get interviews after being recommended, but they fit squarely in every "tier one" stereotype that gets almost all the interview spots to begin with.
