I will pass an opening along to somebody looking or pass a resume along to a company that's hiring but I won't personally vouch for somebody unless I know them very well. Even then, that stuff usually carries little weight- as it should.
My point is that networking doesn't have to be "giving somebody a job", it can be merely getting somebody in the door so that they can get a chance to prove themselves in an interview. You have to find an opening before you can interview for the job, and that's certainly what can be assisted with no personal risk.
These days you would have to be foolish or lazy to not explore every avenue in a job hunt.
And there are plenty of circumstances that can be behind an immediate exit without another line-up. The world is not black and white.
