Why do you care?
I've submitted resumes to companies directly and been ignored--probably dumped in an HR inbox somewhere. Then I later come in through a recruiter and had them pursue me aggressively.
Feel free to look through my comments--I'm not a recruiter.
If you go through the company directly, you won't get a straight answer on salary up-front. You can be as direct as you want on salary with a recruiter middleman without hurting anyone's feelings, though.
