What's your preferred method of applying for jobs?
Do you apply directly on website?
Do you reach out to any recruiters on LinkedIn?
Do you look up old contacts for a referral?
What do you do? Looking at a few roles in Microsoft
#microsoft#apple#nvidia#tech
All of the above, and I've found the efficacy of the methods are, in order from high to low:
- reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn
- referrals from contacts in management roles
- referrals from contacts in individual contributor roles
- applying directly on website
(I prefer when recruiters reach out to me)
How to get hold of recruiters in the first place though (let's assume that the recruiter is not already connected to me on LinkedIn)? Do you just search for them?

Ha! Id never tried reaching out to recruiters directly. Looks like I'm really going about this upside down. Thanks for the post
