I should mention that I get a copy of the email when you apply through this site, which asks the bare minimum necessary to get you into the pipeline. I don't get all of that information, but I do get at least your name and email address and I pass that information to the hiring manager, sometimes even walking over to them myself and saying, "LOOK AT THIS MAGNIFICENT PERSON. HIRE THEM. PLZ."
Applying above is not a black hole. Repeat: not a black hole.
The new hire standing next to me as I type this, whom we hired through a post very similar to this a couple of months ago assures you that this is not a black hole. Seriously. She is evidence of the absence of a black hole. Checkmate, doubters.
Well after interviewing for a different branch of IBM last month from one of these posts. I subsequently fell into a black hole of no responses. When one recruiter/ hiring manager is bad at their job, it looks bad for the whole company.
