I saw a suggestion on Reddit that said before applying to a job listed on LinkedIn you should message the hiring manager. I think that might be kind of annoying. Have you ever tried it?

I have heard something similar to that before, but don't remember where I heard it from, pretty sure it wasn't on Reddit.

You can try it and see how it turns out. I am not sure how many people actually send the hiring manager a message either before or after applying for a role.
