Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Hey we saw your work and were impressed with your ____ project. we’d love to setup some time to chat.

Me: ok great. Here’s when I’m free_______

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Sorry have to cancel the meeting, doesn’t seem like your experience matches the job we are currently offering.

This has happened 4 times in the past few months. Like you reached out to me??

Happened to me because I did not have enough experience. An internal recruiter reached out to me the very next day and i was hired :)

They are canned emails. I think they can just click profiles to send them to based on keywords and stuff.

That happens all the time but instead they reach out saying they’re looking for a sr copywriter and it looks like I fit. See my title.

Ikr. Why can't they read? Assuming the lowest efforts, maybe LinkedIn is serving us up when the recruiters search and they blanket message all the search hits.

Recruiters are now incorporating the strategy dude bros used to use on dating apps before they imposed limits: blindly swipe left on everyone and just message the matches you’re actually interested in.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
