Applying on company website works?
Or should i look for a referral? I feel like recruitors dont even read my application
It depends. They filter people.
It worked for me
Referral better but online works also
For me, none of the referrals worked but only online applications. It really depends on lots of factors right - job opening, your skills and whether they match (from a recruiter's perspective), etc. May be check your resume for keywords and make some improvements there.
For Airbnb , I got the reply next day and received offer letter within a week . In general though, I think it depends on team. Referral definitely helps but you can easily receive call without referral if you have strong profile . For F/G/others I generally get message on LinkedIn . No need to apply . If you do apply on company website, generally give 2-3 weeks for your profile to be picked up
I applied online (no referral) for FB/Apple/Amazon and got responses. Didn't work with Google though 😂
