The process has changed but basically the CP at each base receives a VERY limited number of special recommendations per year that they may forward to pilot hiring. This represents a substantial reduction in the applications that CPs may formally recommend compared to a few years ago.
Yes, it really helps get an interview.
No, it does not guarantee an interview. Much less an offer.
