LinkedIn recruiters
I am not looking for a job from more than a year now, and I have set my LinkedIn profile to 'not in market' (don't remember exact setting) I am still get bombarded with Inmails from recruiters asking for a call or meeting to interest me in a position. I don't reply to those, but recently I noticed that the emails are getting passive aggressive and silly. "just another annoying message from an annoying recruiter!" <-- that's an exact subject line I got yesterday. Many of them send 3-5 follow-ups when I don't reply too. I almost feel unprofessional for not responding anything to them. I tried going into LinkedIn settings but there seems to be nothing more I can do to avoid these mails. I don't want to block emails from LinkedIn too.. Anyone else see this issue? How to deal with it ?
I turn my notifications off
Literally everyone on Linkedin.
We all get these. Just ignore if not interested.
You posted your resume on a 3rd party job site with a phone number on it. Find where it is, and remove it. As for LinkedIn emails, anyone can message you if they have a paid recruiter account. I personally just get annoyed when it's contract offers for my current employer, jobs that aren't my role (or a role I'm looking for), and/or low ball offers.
Nothing wrong with having in demand skills so people need to stop hating! Saw a guy at Netflix one time who had his LinkedIn headline read, "Really Happy at Netflix and Not Interested in Any Other Job Offers". I thought that was rather brilliant. (In your face, LMTFA) Phone numbers are out there and able to find. Sorry, not sure there is much you can do about that other than ignore unknown numbers and then check voicemails later. You can REJECT Inmails. Responding to say you are not interested is an open invitation . for a Recruiter to check with you again at a later time (So, you're saying there's a chance). Rejecting the Inmail sends a stronger message (Oh, H*** No!). It won't dissuade all Recruiters but most of them. Happy New Year!
This is like all those Tinder profiles that say "not looking for hookup" yet its the same culprits each time just swiping on everyone. Recruiters are same. They just play the odds and hope for one match to get that instant gratification that satisfies their needs for the moment.
Nice attempt to Humble brag. If you dont like them ignore them? And make attempts to get off your high horse ?
I knew this comment would come. But I am not interested in Bragging. I don't even claim that I can crack the interviews for some of the positions I am getting contacted for. I have been ignoring this for 6 months now and posted this only to see if others face same thing out there. I turned off app notifications, but I get calls
