Essentially every recruiter message that I've received on LinkedIn follows one of two patterns:
a) Hello, you do Python, do you want a job? (with no position details, salary, reason to join, etc.)
b) a) followed by a clumsy attempt to fish details of my contacts (I don't connect with recruiters).
So, er, yeah - "Ha ha, profession!"
- anthonyb 14y agoOh, I forgot c), which is usually just a raw, unadorned "I'd like to add you to my professional network." from random recruiter scum. Kinda of a b) really, but without the work of having to have a position available...
- nollidge 14y agoMy favorite is when they CALL ME AT WORK to network at me, especially since I specifically say "don't call" on my LI profile.

- anthonyb 14y agoThere actually really wasn't any logic in that statement. I'm not saying "I have this message from a recruiter, therefore all recruiters are scum." It's a reminder.
- xtracto 14y agoInteresting, In LinkedIn I've been contacted by recruiters from Amazon, Google, Toshiba and Voyer International and all of them have been quite professional.
