or a way for you to get into feedback from management. If you directly apply, you will never know why management did not pick up your resume.

The feedback is not relevant at that stage ("not pick up your resume"). It is something like - not enough experience, we found a better candidate, we hired someone we know, not a great fit, etc.

Feedback becomes relevant only when you start the hiring process. They thought you were able to do the job but ended the process. This means you weren't good enough.
