As someone who has a decent enough CV to warrant a stream of incoming offers/connections my perspective is that the majority of the process is mechanical. At the top of my linkedin profile is “Dear recruiters: tell me what’s amazing about the job before you ask.”. Because way too often recruiters think a job is its requirements. Amazingly, many connect without this information because too many recruiters won’t even read a profile. Once they connect and are super friendly, if they don’t sense you are desperate or willing to take the first gig thrown at you, they ghost you. Not all recruiters of course. I’ve had some who are super helpful, keep in touch with friendly and useful checkins, etc.
