When I get DMed by a recruiter on LinkedIn, should I automatically assume it's not going to result in anything? Every time I get hit up, I respond with all my details, resume, cover letter, and all, and then it's just silence. Why are they reaching out in the first place?

When contacted by a recruiter, my standard test is to thank them for reaching out and ask them a question. If they respond in a relatively timely fashion, you know they are a live recruiter. Else just move on.

This is a great tip, I usually do not even respond because the offer is misaligned with my interest, but the few time I did I got ghosted so, I will definitely try to do what you suggested
