Why is it one or the other ? Networking won’t guarantee a job, but it helps immensely if someone inside can vouch for you. Don’t you think that if someone can ping the HM directly is going to be more impactful than you banking on your resume passing the ATS and then less than 1 min that recruiter will spend on it ? If you don’t have anyone, then apply directly and may be it will get you something.
Networking is hard, it requires earning trust. You don’t want someone to click the button, you need them to be an advocate for you. So starting point should be people from your ex firm (past or present) , even if you don’t know them , you can use the connection. Another way is to send request for informal chat (primary purpose for why LI exist). Those chats should start with learning about them vs you asking them for referral (they all know why you are reaching out, just need to make it about them )
It’s so much easier to get a job from a warm lead.
