Not sure I follow your reasoning for #3. Filling out this form seems to be the absolute least someone can do if they really want to work at a particular company.

I think taking 5 minutes to find someone at the company and emailing them a personal email will be way more successful for a candidate.

Plus I'd worry that you will sound like just another recruiter when presenting me to the company, so it may end up hurting my chances.
