Find the hiring manager on LI, talk to him and impress him. You should get a referral from him after the call, if successful.

How do you find the hiring manager on LinkedIn?

Referrals are always reviewed so better than cold applying. Not sure what you mean by reaching out through LinkedIn, the end goal would just be a referral right?

All employees are able to view the hiring manager for a position, so if you know someone, you can ask them to give you the hiring managers name.

Referral would definitely improve the chances of your resume getting picked up

I’ve cold applied and gotten to final round at FB.
