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.

Hi! I had an interview for a job with the DOL that I applied for on usajobs. The interview was exactly 3 weeks ago today and they have called my references. I haven’t heard any updates and I know it can be a very slow process but do you think I should reach out to the interviewer via email to follow up or no? Thanks!

Hi All,
In the HR discussion, we both agreed on 30L CTC (10% Variable) and 1L joining bonus. But later after 2-3 days when they need to release the offer, HR is saying they got the approval for 28L CTC(10% variable) and 2L joining bonus.

Should I take that offer and look for other options or straight forward reject the offer and then look for other options?

Also, according to this behaviour of the HR, is it good behaviour?

So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
