Recruiters, when a job listing does not have a recruiter listed, is it in bad taste to reach out to an internal talent acquisition/recruiter that is an employee at the company?

No, it's not bad taste or bad form. However! If you want an answer back to that message, it should be compelling.

When people reach out to me I like to get the following:
- I applied the role X
- I'm a great fit for this role because Y
- I want to work at Z because I: read the CTOs blog post and love his approach to A, I saw on your career page that this company has a great culture and believes in B, etc

I am finding it challenging to include much detail in the LinkedIn messaging due to it's 300 character limit. Other than inmail, which is limited, is there anything you would suggest to get around this?

Along the same lines, if the recruiter is listed and doesn't respond, but views your profile for example, why?

They likely viewed your profile and didn't find alignment on role requirements.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

Hello! I’m a Talent Acquisition Manager at a 300 FTE sized gov contractor with 2 recruiters under me. One of my recruiters and I are both having babies in August and will be out for 12 weeks.

Or any advice for a short term solution?

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment.

I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?
