Does anybody have any advice when applying to postings with many applicants and getting noticed? The company I am interested in is Figma, and though I reached out to a few technical recruiters after applying through LinkedIn, I am wondering if there might be something more I could do that maybe I’m not thinking about. Also along those lines, if anybody here works for figma I would love the chance to connect

Nope, because I'm a generous, kind person. I will only ignore if their email was really bad.
Well it depends, why do you not want to chat? I usually don't if I'm busy
Just give them like 15 minutes it's not so bad
If only these calls were only a one-time 15min endeavor. Usually they glue to you for as long as they need you (asking you for recs and referrals) and after they land a gig somewhere, they don't usually follow up. One time this person used my name as a referrer and didn't even tell me until after the fact. Sad but that has been my experience and I've spent time on at least 20 individuals. Should you help? Yes but choose wisely.
I think my general policy has been to ignore, unless it's a friend of a friend type situation
