Thanks for the insight. Some really good points here, especially: > When I (or our internal technical recruiters) spam out a job we are giving more people a chance at the job, and are introducing fewer personal biases. That is something I didn't even consider, but you're absolutely right. You're naturally going to be more attracted to candidates who fit your profile (unless, of course, you're _really_ aware of your unconscious bias). I think spamming LinkedIn can have success if you properly target and give ample information on who, what, and why. Something I didn't even consider until this was posted on Reddit was the fact that even though I have Java listed in "do not want", it's still going to be picked up as a keyword.
