When looking at resumes that have come through, it is really easy to identify the ones that came from a mass application vs. the ones where the person read the job description.
If there is limited time to review or interview candidates resulting in some not getting moved further along, one of the easy early filters is to not consider the ones that came in from a third party easy apply and don't match the format expected by the ATS (if they even got that far).
It is fine to use linked in, dice, Glassdoor and whatever else to discover companies that may have jobs listed. However preference should always be given to applying on the company page itself with a resume that indicates that you read the position requirements.
