My job is 20-50% sales. I would always take a first call with someone who knew what my job was and wanted to talk to me. It makes me curious about recruiting, are they really spending their time on higher value stuff? Like I said above, my guess is it's a numbers game, more telemarketing than relationship building, at least for people cold-messaging on LinkedIn.
