It sounds like you don't really understand how companies and recruitment work. Companies are machines, and the employees are cogs. When recruiting for a new cog, they will cast a net, get a few hundred applicants, then whittle it down using their process (which probably includes a bunch of interview rounds and some dumb exercises). They are not looking for unique snowflakes, so your thoughtful application just creates extra reading and work for them. Of course, they are not looking for robots either, so if you have some extra abilities on top of the basics that will make you stand out, but you cannot side-step the usual process and have to jump through the basic hoops and to get that far. The exceptions are at smaller companies / regional locations, or if you have some connections or unique and deep skills (e.g. you invented X, wrote the book on Y, etc.)
