DMs from who, though? Recruiting agencies? Those aren't job offers, those are people who want to doctor your resume even further and some it at companies going they'll get paid for it

How do you think staffing agencies work?

Exactly like I described. They shotgun doctored resumes at companies, hoping a few stick and they get paid for it. Getting DMs from these doesn't mean you have job offers. It means someone wants to include you in their barrage-which means they identified you as having a pulse

Ah. There are two types of these. The national ones that put up a few hundred "local" listings for the same job, skim off the top, and hope to make a cut. Then there are actual local ones that build relationships with companies with businesses in the area and actually find proper talent instead of playing a numbers game. The way they make money is the same, but the former is definitely much less of a sure thing.

And I'm guessing it's the former which would be DMing people in LinkedIn
