What kind of response rate to expect while applying for jobs through linkedin?

Trying to apply to non faang companies and don't know anyone working there. Is there value in applying through linkedin or I should find someone working there somehow and ask for referral? Asking because long time ago when I applied for jobs online as a student I got 0 responses out of like 30 attempts.

Instant if you contact recruiters directly

Is there an obvious way to find recruiters for a specific company I'm missing?

Very different between student and industry hire. I heard back from like 10% when I was a student, but recently heard back from around 50% as someone with around 5 YOE (applying to tier 1-2 companies through their website, not linkedin). So depends on your situation.

Applying as a fresh grad is very different from applying as an experienced hire. I’m sure you’ll do better than 0/30 when you apply for relevant jobs.
