It’s a numbers game for them. You’re not the only person they’re reaching out to with an amazing opportunity for someone with your background. When you need them answer, when you don’t, dont. They do not care

I don’t think so they spam hundreds of people and just change the name the messages are addressed to. Do you answer the phone and talk to all the telemarketers?

I don't think they expect you to respond them.

I literally get like 2-3 everyday on average except weekends...today i got 4 on LinkedIn. They spam plenty of people everyday, i never respond

Headhunters you mean recruiters? I ghost them 95% of the time and so do a lot of people

Hi folks, need guidance. Skill - . Net + azure and YOE - 4.

After two tech round received email for documents. HR said that she will discuss regarding my expected offer with the team after receiving documents from my side which I sent yesterday.
Today evening I got technical interview assigned mail with meeting invitation for today afternoon itself. It is very confusing to me.

Are they trying to take my one more round of interview? I was hoping to get offer after sending documents.

I moved to the US from Canada last August. Recently got my work permit and now looking for work. Can anyone look at my resume and give me some advise or leads on what kind of jobs I'm best suited for? I live in a remote in PA. Not many jobs around here at all. I wouldn't mind working remotely.
