Few things give me greater joy in life than getting a connection request from a total stranger with no intro message, viewing their profile so they get a notification that I saw it, and then rejecting their invite.

Mr. Vice President, you should probably work on your jokes because they’re not that funny.

You do know that unless you are a premium customer you can only send 5 invites a month that have a note attached? Try some research before judging eh?
Maybe accept their request and they will send you a note after?

But what if they do send a message? What if it is a genuine question about the legitimacy of a job posting? Because I've had to do that after several red flags waved during conversations with a prospective employer.

My goto connection request note:

I am a recruiter for the Robert Hess Search group. I am reaching out to see if there is an opportunity for us to help you cultivate the team you're looking for. I'd love the chance to work together, be it now or in the future. Take care, Keith

It works at times, but remember, I am reaching out to potential new clients. If you are a potential candidate, it may fall on deaf ears for a recruiter. If you want to connect to a recruiter, get on LinkedIn and search for "Recruiters." Most good recruiters will have an email, phone number, or other way to contact them listed in their bio. Send them a message. If not, send a connection request, but add a note. You can also sign up for 30 days of free premium type of subscription and send an Inmail, which also goes directly to their email as well. Be warned, though, that most of the time, a recruiter isn't able to do much with you as a candidate unless they have a client and position available. They can try to market you, although that isn't always the easiest path. So make sure you connect with recruiters that specialize in your field of work.

I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
