I've reached out to recruiters on LinkedIn, but maybe I'm not an easy candidate, because they never seem to do much for me. Do I need to do something specific or hit up the right recruiter?
My success rate was entirely for recruiters that reached out to me first.
(I also paid $400 for an HR consultant to update my resume and LinkedIn profile as a one-time fee, so maybe that helped, but I didn't really A/B test it before and after)
