Recruiters, is it frowned upon for candidates to reach out to you on DM on Linkedin? Or does it show that they’re more interested than just submitting an application?

Email is probably more direct

Yes, but emails get lost and fall through the cracks pretty often. Many recruiters are on LinkedIn a good amount of time during the day. Curious to see what they will say though.

I think it does show you’re making an effort to connect which is good. It’s not frowned upon but email is likely going to get a response (for me at least). Some recruiters get so many LinkedIn messages that can easily get lost in the shuffle. But, if your message hits and the right time when a recruiter is searching on LinkedIn, it can be a good way to remind them of you. Always good to be connected on LinkedIn no matter what as an addition to email.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
