Maybe if you reach out and try to search for jobs. But working the other way, only being reached by people trying to get me to work with them, it's completely useless (not that I ever was on LI for that purpose.)
It's been over 5 years since I last went actually sending CVs out
So it's pretty much recruiters pinging me all the time -

So it's pretty much recruiters pinging me all the timeMost recruiters sending me things don't even state where the job is. It's a weird thing I've found, like they think that there is only one market in the whole world and that I'll just know where they must mean.
My first question is always "what country is this for"?

Strange, I typically see them specifying the city or whether or not the job is remote from the very start. There was a bit of initial confusion when I moved countries several times, but it straightens out quite quickly

Definitely many do specify, but an absurd number do not.

I just heard about this page yesterday. I work as an Account Manager at Diversant; I work with Weston, who commented above.
Although I am not a recruiter, I would be more than happy to sit down with anyone over lunch, coffee, a happy hour, etc. who would be willing to help me improve my knowledge of current technologies. That way I can also arm my recruiters with better information for their search. Just putting people in chairs, or throwing tons of candidates at managers just hoping one will stick, is not how I like to do business. I want to make sure that there is a good fit for both my clients as well as the candidates I submit. I get that many recruiters/staffing companies have a bad rap, but I try my best to differentiate myself by getting involved in communities like this. If anyone would be interested please feel free to send me a chat on this site, and I'd be happy to pass my contact info along and get something set up!

Us too. Always looking for fresh insights and perspectives.

@lmorren1148 welcome, great to see you guys joining us.
-
@scottalanmiller Same for us. I think there is plenty of value in the information to be shared on both sides. We get an opportunity to learn about tech from the people with boots on the ground, and we can share a perspective from the client side on interview process, best practices, hot projects, etc.

@StrongBad thank you, great to be here. Hopefully this proves to be fruitful for all parties.

And a chance to learn about who is available, get the word out more about opportunities, etc.!
