Comment on Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?

  Likewise. It has generated several offers for me, but the vast majority of head hunters are playing spray-n-pray with keywords. For every good lead I get, I have to tell 400 people to fuck off.

  Oh.. you're a Sox analyst? Want to work in a sock factory? Want to do the laundry for a minor league baseball team? Want to be in a fetish video?

    Head hunters are so annoying I’ve stopped responding to them. They barely know anything about the position they try to fill.

      Depends. I got my recent job from a headhunter: a Rust programming gig in a fully remote startup with good benefits and a great salary. When the offers are not great, I tell them. This was through LinkedIn.

        Yep. I live in one of the "post salary or GTFO" states, and lead with that. Anyone who can't respond with a straight answer isn't worth dealing with and is told why.

        I go through them every couple of days and have a text file with canned responses.

        • Thanks for reaching out. Before we proceed further, will you please provide a full job description, salary range, name of your client, and length of the contract?
        • Sorry - (DETAIL) falls outside/below my current expectations. Have a good day, and good luck!

    Definitely. I said this in another reply as well, but I don’t respond unless they say something very specific about my background. I know AI can do that but that seems the best way to go for now.

  I usually just got offers from people who wouldn’t tell me what the job was or how much it paid until I agreed to an hour long sales pitch, I mean, interview.

    For sure there are still those. I usually get one decent one for about 20 ransoms that don’t say a word. I usually don’t respond unless they say something specific about my background.

  And what field is this? Or what professions do you think so well here?

    Product development. Anything associated with building software products get a lot of traction on LinkedIn
