Yeah which is why you initiate a chat with them first.

Through LinkedIn with focus on the culture and things related to working with that company.

If you are still interested in the company while talking to that employee you can ask for a referral.

There's a lot developer positions which are filled through referrals. Most of them will be willing to help.

I do something similar as well which is to provide referrals through meetups that I attend when I'm chatting with a new person.
