I do find it frustrating that recruiters are almost like the gatekeepers of being able to find a job with a specific company. I have had no luck reaching out to them on LinkedIn. I usually just get ignored! For the recruiters on here, what actually motivates you to respond to light inquiries on LinkedIn? Also which red flags prompt you to ignore messages on there?

The problem with LinkedIn is that people get flooded with messages and it can become overwhelming. And to be honest, most of the messages read like spam. There's a procedure where people can apply for jobs and it doesn't include messaging recruiters on LinkedIn. Most recruiters simply aren't going to respond to random messages they get there.

In that case, how to get a response?

If I'm reaching out to recruiters, the main thing I try to do is to keep my messages short and really try not to sound like AI. Be original, avoid em dashes, and speak confidently (and concisely) about your background/skills and what you're looking for. SOMETIMES you get a response lol.

I have done that and at the end, all I do is hope

Is it possible you’re just not reaching out to the right people? I get messages on occasion that don’t apply to me so I just ignore them (e.g selling a software to my organization).

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through.

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
