Haven't had many recruiters reach out to me since the rise of llms. Guess there is a bright side after all.
Likewise. I used to get 3-4 cold DMs or connection requests from recruiters per week just a couple years ago. Now I maybe get 1 per month.
It's nice for me specifically, but definitely a symptom of the times and worrysome for anybody trying to find a job in this economy now while also having to compete with fucking AI slop generators doing all the menial and entry level work.
I actually hadn't thought about it until now, but I used to get texts from recruiters all the time, but that stopped completely in December.
