So is there any downside to spamming connections to anyone in my area with the word "recruiter" in their title? I plan on making the most of this tactic by following up with my e-mail address and an offer to send my resume and chat about possible positions.

HiroProtagonist posted:This is in fact the recommended tactic. There's a couple of companies in my area with 10,000+ employees with positions I'm interested in. I'm applying on their websites, but the listings don't give a contact and the companies have a bunch of people in HR/Recruitment. What's the best way to try to reach out to them on or off LinkedIn? Should I just pick someone with the most recruitment like title, shoot them a connection, and hope they accept so I can message them?

HiroProtagonist posted:If you are connecting with the intent of boosting your application's visibility, that is fine, but unless you are going to message people about general opportunities instead, messaging them about submitted applications might be a little too aggressive. The former is fine. Is there a good way to follow up in this situation, or am I already sunk by going in without knowing anyone before applying? I'm probably overqualified for the positions I'm applying to, but I'm underpaid by about 50% and my current employer is an overrun psych ward so I'm trying to look like the perfect candidate without smelling strangely desperate.

Is it okay to reach out and make connections with third party recruiters? I have experience and an industry certification, and I'm super interested in having people come to me with opportunities.
