- vlunkr 11y agoBut I don't feel like any of it is authentic. Submitting my resume directly to the company would probably accomplish the same thing.
- selllikesybok 11y agoIn some cases, that might even be true.
- nileshtrivedi 11y agoNow only if LinkedIn had made it recruiters' emails an opt-in.
- CaptSpify 11y agoNot really. I've been in that situation, and spammy recruiters are just looking at "Oh, he's got $buzzword in his profile, and $company needs $buzzword!" If $buzzword = bash, that's not really useful. It's used everywhere, and isn't really an exclusive skillset. They don't pay attention to company culture, pay, or even location. Obviously YMMV, but IME, they pretty much just throw everything against the wall, to see what sticks.

- stephengillie 11y agoNot when they all for your resume, then turn you down because you only know Chef, not Chef, Puppet and Ansible.
