Last couple months I’ve been getting a ton of LinkedIn messages from IT staffing companies claiming to hire for data science positions.

I’ve responded to a few that seemed legit, but most feel scammy/like a waste of time. That said, it’s the only outreach I’m getting whereas I was getting way more messages from internal recruiters a few years ago.

Is this just a scam run through LinkedIn? Did companies lay off their talent acquisition and this is the new approach they’re trying out? Thoughts?

I’m an experienced corporate recruiter who was focused on building/scaling data science and analytics teams since 2016. I was laid off twice in the last two years and the market has not picked up yet. Prior to corporate recruiting I spent almost 10 years in IT staffing. My opinion is the IT staffing firms are trying to build their pipelines for when the market picks up again. Many of these firms don’t have the database of candidates in this field and are late to the game. I’m pretty sure that’s what you’re experiencing.
