As you populate your job info on linkedin you’re ranked against other people around you with the same skill set.
The dark art of spam is now engaged.
As recruiters purchase the ability to contact you, they use filters to find you, and then send you a message.
Linkedin is incentivized to make sure the people responding are good candidates. People who are engaging with their application and others engage with them. Ultimately they want the application to work and keep you there longer.
The longer you are engaged, the higher success they have of earning more money on advertising revenue, and you’re personal data is sold too.
As we browse linkedin, use linkedin, like someones job post, or whatever the case. Linkedin is track that data. This is the algorithm.
The algorithm knows you. Here’s my linkedin.
You’re getting to know more about algorithms right now.
If you like a lot of successful job posts, you will start to get more recruiter leads/opportunities, and that’s awesome.
These likes don’t show up on your activity feed.
You can like as many as you desire. I don’t think there’s a limit.
Linkedin spam
Unfortunately recruiters don’t know any better and spam people a massive amount of things on LinkedIn. This means you’re getting really low quality content that’s not necessarily aimed directly at you. It’s never specifically aimed at you unless it is and those are the ones I focus on the most. I always get linkedin spam.
However, there’s a lot of good happening in this layer, just be extremely patient and turn everyone into a “you” customer. It’s always practice. You can’t be everything to everyone.
You can’t b everything to everyone.https://t.co/UH7OBVvpPs
