Applied for a job on LinkedIn a month ago. Never heard anything. A recruiter reached out a week ago for the same job. I killed the interview and got an offer. I am so pissed off that my salary has to be reduced because the employer was too lazy or didn’t want to or didn’t have time to vet applicants. It’s infuriating and souring the offer for me.

Your salary won't be reduced...

What C1 said.

It's an entirely different budget. If you hire a headhunter, he or she will take a percentage of your pay. But that's why no one hires headhunters.

A recruiter is generally paid at the points. First, when they take the contract. Then, when they deliver candidates. Then, when one signs on.

Your salary is from a very different bucket.

Ohh mannn!! Why do bad things always happen to yooouuuuu!!!!

I mean on the flip side this recruiter definitely their commission on your end.

Why would it be reduced??

If you're using a headhunter, they should be able to negotiate you a better salary.

In any case, how you got in shouldn't change it.

Also, LinkedIn applications are a black hole.

Isn’t there a rule: once you submit your portfolio, you can’t be re-submitted by a recruiter/headhunter to the same agency for 6 months?

Theoretically, yes. But only if they know you submitted it. Seems like they lose because can’t be bothered checking their LinkedIn applications.
