* Being around the end of the month during a troubling economic period in the tech industry I'd explain the increase in random messages by guessing that lot of low-level recruiting shops are desperately trying to meet some arbitrary quotas.
* Not saying you can't ever find a job with them, but these kinds of recruiters are almost always bad communicators, pushy, disrespectful of social norms, have questionable motives, barely understand anything about the tech they're recruiting for to the point of even getting the names of technologies they're looking for wrong, and are rarely worth dealing with.

This also reflects on the company they're recruiting for. It's unlikely that they are any better at negotiating with their own clients (if they were capable of good comms, why not also do that for candidates?), so if the company itself sees nothing wrong with that then it's definitely not a place you want to work at.
- logicalmonster 3y agoJust speculating out loud, but in some cases, having a recruitment process that fails might be the goal. Some manager might want a recruitment process to fail to promote their favored internal candidates, or to justify going the H1B route. To do that, you might need a horrible recruitment process that is repellent to the best job candidates that fails so your desired outcome happens.
- Ldorigo 3y agoThink you hit the nail with your "end of the month quotas" explanation - messages dropped back to usual amounts on September 1st !
