It isn’t just consulting. Tik Tok just did the same thing! It is a product of recruiters that mass message people and then get overwhelmed when they respond. LinkedIn business model promoted this behavior 😀

“demand for resources” changes like every day, it’s ridiculous honestly 🙄

Happens at least twice a week. I’ve stopped responding.

Solomon does this a lot too. It's just a numbers game. They send out hundreds and cherry pick from the responses.

Lolll😂😂 for a strategy consulting firm this seems like a waste of resources
