Use it in your favor.
You just have to get past the recruiter/talent acquisition where everyone else is getting auto-rejected. You should be doing that anyway.

If decision-makers put up a front of recruiters and talent acquisition "specialists", don't they send a very explicit message that going past those is unwelcome and won't be considered?
Not really.
In practice, skipping the line is THE approach. How many times do you hear people say to fill out online job postings? Never. It's just scaring off good/bad candidates and bums who dont have an employee referral.
It's not even cynical to say a lot of postings are performatory compliance steps when they've already got internal candidates lined up.
