1. I had a recruiter from Amazon reach out to me about “exciting opportunities” as an SDE on LinkedIn. The issue was that my profile showed that I was already working at AWS.
2. A recruiter from Google reached out to me about an Engineering Manager position. Not only did I not have any management experience on my profile, my current position then was in the consulting department (full time) at AWS - it wasn’t even officially software development
3. A recruiter from Meta reached out to me about a senior software engineer position in AI. Again, my profile clearly showed a bunch of no name CRUD developer jobs and then working in consulting
Recruiter outreach is no indication of careful targeted outreach
