Why don’t I get recruiter offers on LinkedIn? I’m in product strategy in tech and never get the recruiter inmail opportunities that others seem to. I do have “open to new opportunities” enabled.

I still get them several times a week. There's still plenty of hiring going on in tech

Make sure your skills section is filled out. This is one of the primary ways, along with job titles, that tools filter potential candidates for recruiters.

Hard to say without seeing what your profile looks like and what exactly you do. I don’t think I have a top tier background by any means but I still get an InMail every day or so even without being “open to opportunities”.

Do you have everything filled out? Do you have your skills aligned to your job history? Have you taken any skill tests yet? Have any coworkers or friends endorsed you for any skills? Do you have a lot of connections? I know some of the stuff on there might seem silly but from talking to my recruiter friends in the past, every little bit matters because there’s simply an enormous amount of people on LinkedIn and a lot of bots as well. So little things like skill tests can differentiate you from the mass because they can tell that you’re real and active.

I would imagine your displayed job title has a lot to do with it. The period of my work history during which I received the most recruiter inMails was when I was a Subject Matter Expert. Most of the messages I received were for SME positions that had ZERO to do with my actual background or work history.

Consider modifying your profile to use a standard title with your company’s internal title in a parenthetical. E.g., “Senior Success Manager (Internal Title: Client Strategist)”

Not saying this is you, but only time I’ve heard product strategy that’s not product management is in agencies where they bloat titles and aren’t where tech companies recruit for most of the time

In tech companies, product managers do most of the strategy. Try changing your title on LinkedIn if possible

Unpopular opinion but reality.
It doesn’t matter if you are the best version of yourself, if you work constantly every day to be the best, towards yourself and others. You need someone to give you a chance to prove that to them. You can be the best damn candidate for a job but if they don’t give you a chance to interview, it doesn’t mean a damn thing.

Hi fishes,
I'm currently attending lot of interviews, some interviewers are courteous, introduced them, their work experience, what they do and then ask me to introduce myself. While there are interviewers who don't even tell their name or anything, just join the interview and start asking questions, some interviewers don't even apologize if they join late.
One thing I noted is, these guys are generally not managers or HR, someone who have 1 or 2 years more experience than me.
Any experiences?
