Recruiters constantly reach out to me on LinkedIn, ask for my CV and say my ‘experience fits perfectly for X role’ - then they disappear into the void after that. What is with that?! Should I reexamine my CV or just put it down to another recruiter filling in their quota of hires they had to present to client?

I’m sorry about the black hole situation. I cannot speak to that but wanted to clarify, just in my own exp., I’ve never been given a quota of resumes to present.
