alt Hacker NewsAnyone else's inbox slammed with recruiters, more than it ever has been in the past? Feels like there's 10x the jobs available, but perhaps it's just that LLMs have automated a recruiter's job and they're letting the slop fly

I get lots of AI companies in my inbox, not much else. Surprisingly I got a bite recently because my linkedin says I have worked with eBPF.
No, but it used to be.
What mediums are you using for recruiters to contact you? Do you have a linked-in or are you applying directly to recruiting companies? Are you active anywhere else?
Genuinely interested in how you're receiving so many recruitment emails. That used to be my go to way to hit the job market.
Depends on your geo. If you're in the Bay, NYC, and maybe a few other hubs hiring remains strong.
The "inshoring" hubs like RTP and Denver or those hubs that are dominated by a handful of oversized companies like Seattle are the worst impacted.
Nope its totally dead
Mine is, but it’s AI generated slop from gmail addresses, for some kind of scam
Mine is too. Absolutely no outreach from the major players however. Mostly AI startups with a few larger/older SaaS startups sprinkled in.
