Even a totally asocial small content creator will follow others on twitter. And maybe they'll know someone who's applying and retweet the audition or whatever. Finding talent really isn't the difficult part. Or, at the very least, talent is abundant. Even third rate corps will get more than plenty of applications.
The bad part is that a lot of these corps just want to harvest talent without actually doing the work. They manipulate the ambition and naivete of these barely 20 year old content creators by telling them lies about how much support they'll get from the company. AkioAir, Tsunderia, Vreverie, Cyberlive, Kawaii, etc.
