If you actually are talented, and reasonably right for the role: figure out who the hiring manager is and message them on LinkedIn. You don't have to make sure it's the right HM, as long as you're close they'll point you in the right direction.

I've done this many times (before working in big tech) and I have always received a response. There is only 1 company that I've failed to get through for at least some kind of a screen: MSFT. They seem to want nothing to do with me.
