After fixing up my LinkedIn and getting premium, about 5-6/week. Only respond to the ones that interest me. None of the vague bullshit of an exciting new opportunity that we can’t tell you about unless you schedule time with us nonsense

On average once a month.

At most once a month. Most recruiters probably don’t know about OW.

On average, once a week. It's always the same little group of firms that are hiring. I'm actually starting to share information with the recruiters to help them find the right type of person, lol.

This month it’s been like 2 per week. Mostly crap, some good
