LinkedIn is a powerful tool, but, as Spiderman reminds us, with great power comes great responsibility. Are you wielding LinkedIn responsibly, particularly when it comes to using the platform for recruitment?
I work closely with a number of developers, and as can be expected, they’re pretty popular on LinkedIn. However, when I asked about their experiences with recruiters reaching out to them on LinkedIn, their feelings weren’t particularly positive. I’ve shared some of their insights below.
The devs that I consulted have all used LinkedIn as a platform to find work, and they recognize its value. But they also don’t appreciate the recruitment “spam” that fills their in-demand inboxes.
