The recruiters who are worth a damn are referred by happy customers and recruits.
The ones who resort to spamming random strangers are self-announcing as the other kind.
- codingdave 8y agoThere is also such a thing as a good recruiter who does intelligent searches, finds good matches, and then reaches out selectively to non-random strangers. Those are the ones I actually want to hear from, and I have gotten jobs from such communications via LinkedIn.
- bunderbunder 8y agoIf they really are "spamming random strangers", then sure. And that seems to be most of the contact I get via LinkedIn. But I did have one cold contact from a pretty legit recruiter that ended up turning into a pretty legit job. That may have been a fluke, but it might also be something that happens more often than I realize. Mostly I barely even read the recruiter messages; this one just happened to catch me on a rare day when I'm open to switching jobs.
