My advice is to run a real process and track every application. Expect around 100 applications to 25 screens to 10 interview loops to 1 offer. Best case.
I would say directly reaching out to hiring managers and recruiters is your path forward, but they get a lot of inbound, so the odds of a cold outreach getting read is low unless you have an intro.
