A recruiter because they have a direct like to HR so an actual human will look at your resume. Problem is finding a non scummy recruiter.

AI has been doing initial screening of resumes for well over a decade now.

I've neither gotten a job with a recruiter nor with LinkedIn. Recruiters can definitely get you interviews though. LinkedIn won't even respond. I got my jobs through Indeed

Yeah the interview itself is on you. With the LinkedIn ones directing you to the company site I've found it to be hit or miss. But I would say it's FAR more reliable than the "message me if interested" posts. At least they reject you if you don't qualify

Some companies are becoming more selective in their hiring. As a Senior Manager at a Big Four firm, I expected to be able to secure a new position as an Assistant Controller or similar role. However, I have been told multiple times that I’m not a good fit without industry experience. Some recruiters are now helping me overcome this barrier by helping me present my experience to management.

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.
