Not only that, some organizations have policies to not accept information/applicants who don't follow the process through recruiter, HR, job board, etc. Now you're effectively "black balled" from applying the right way.

As far as I know, referrals are way more preferred that cold applications.

Same with good applications which aren't filtered out by these very same organizations lol

Are there orgs that will blackball you for contacting someone?

I've just seen that they will tell you that if you are interested to apply on the ATS.
