Which process would you rather be put through? Talk to dev manager and team earlier or filtered (and likely lost) in recruitings inbox? Would you rather be contacted by a recruiter? Or contacted by a dev on a team you might work for?

We certainly do both, but the best candidates come from being engaged in our tech communities and sharing our team and roles organically, rather than filtering through lots of resumes after a recruiter spams a bunch of people.
