I've gotten all my jobs via a recruiter reaching out first.
Cold applying to a job posting whether it be on LinkedIn or the company's site has always resulted in being ignored or getting swiftly rejected with a generic reason.
Trying to use my network has gotten me to the interview stage, but from that point on it's no different from going through a recruiter - you get the typical leetcode interview. In my case, I've failed all the leetcode interviews I've gotten through my network, so my success rate there is 0%.
