No middle man - your application goes straight to the recruiter or hiring manager and minimizes hiring delays.
You can learn more about the company's mission, vision, values and culture when you apply on their website.
It's easier to customize your resume or application when applying through the company website.
Applying through the company website may ensure more security for your personal information.
LinkedIn andย job boards may have incomplete or outdated information about the position.
Your application may stand out more because everyone else takes the "easy" way out.
The first place a recruiter is likely to look for applicants is through their own system.
If you see the position listed on the company website, you know it's not a scam.
You will know the resume format the employer prefers (PDF, Word document).
While LinkedIn and job boards are still valuable resources for your job search, applying through the employer's website often provides a safer, more direct approach.
