I send an email to four or five external recruiters that I have been working with or years , they send me a list of jobs, matching requirements, pay range and location.

I tell them which jobs I am interested in, they submit my resume to the company, handle all of the scheduling and follow up with the hiring managers since they don’t get paid if I don’t get hired. I didn’t need to do any research.

Without being a special snowflake, I’m batting close to 100% using the process -Application/non rejection.
