Here is an observation - I was getting 1 - 2 messages a week in linkedin from recruiters. Recently, I changed my background to support equal / gay rights. Since then, I have gotten zero messages/job opportunities.

Personally, I like to hear what my options are and I will read my notifications whenever i'm upset with clients/teams. At first, I didn't notice. But this last week, was shitty which is when I found out I have not been getting any. Maybe it's the economy or not...

Wait til next month. This week a lot of people are already out of office. The same with candidates who felt being ghosted after getting verbal offers- people are already away from their pc’s…

What a weird train of thought to think recruiters who rely taking every swing would single YOU out because you think you're taking a stand.

More likely the following.

1. Recruiters are losing their jobs so less who are reaching out.
2.It's the holidays so people are out
3. Hiring won't start up again until new year
4. Anything besides thinking something dumb like a linkedin background.
