Is it beneficial and/or acceptable to cold outreach a recruiter for a particular company on LinkedIn? Just to gain some insights on the job, hiring process etc.

Can’t hurt. It’s even better if you can get someone in the company to refer you to the recruiter

A big mistake people make is not responding back to every single LinkedIn message you received from a Recruiter even if it is as simple as a no thank you. Recruiters have insight into what percentage of LinkedIn messages you respond to, it’s within their portal. If they see that you have a low response rate, they’re less likely to message you, because LinkedIn provides them with a certain number of credits for outreach, and when you message them back, they receive that credit back. So it’s in the best interest to message those who have a high percentage of response.

Of course it is. What I’ve seen is that the people landing good jobs are the ones who don’t just sit back and apply, and then move on. You have to do these types of networking things. Outreach to recruiters and even hiring managers. Try for referrals. Ask other peer level employees at companies for insights on hiring teams, etc.

Been getting some interesting ads in Georgia. Got a letter about how Jon Ossoff is going to destroy Georgia’s economy and attacking him and his character. This was generated by David Perdue.

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.
