Applying at the company website really useful?

Throughout my career, I got all my interviews through either recruiter or internal referral. Sometimes I got phone/onsite interviews for totally unrelated position through recruiters. However, if I apply directly at the company website, I never hear back even it is a perfect match. Does anybody have same experience? #referral #recruiter

I get the best response rates by getting referrals or sending the hiring manager an inmail on LinkedIn

How did you figure out who is the hiring manager?

I would say my experience has been about 75/25 split of getting a response from applying via the company website. The only website I have received 0 response is from Apple.
