Always direct.

All of the above except third party. Keep it as last resort. I follow Direct, LinkedIn jobs, connect with hr.

Update LinkedIn to say you're open to opportunities and wait for the recruiters to contact you. Applying directly can work sometimes but for big companies you need an employee referral to get your foot in the door. I spent about 7 months looking for a new role at the start of the year. Got interviews from 2 referrals, 3 recruiters vis LinkedIn, and 1 from directly applying to a startup.

Neither. Get warm intros and referrals.

All of the above. Got interview with G by applying through the website, interview at FB via LinkedIn connection with a recruiter there, interview with smaller public company through independent headhunter, and interview with MS through their recruiter looking me up.
