Ghosting: Hard lessons about recruiters & employers

Two readers frustrated about ghosting by recruiters and employers learn how to apply two tests, in the October 13, 2020 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter. Question #1 Twice in the last month or so I've gotten LinkedIn mail from recruiters who were really excited about my background and wanted to talk to me about a position that would be right up my alley. I'd reply offering a date and time to talk. Both times I was ghosted. LinkedIn's utility for job search continues to take a nosedive. "There oughta be a law!" How can I judge what's real and what's spam?

Sound advice. Don't chase the recruiter - make them chase you. You call them first is a great opening shot that separates real recruiters from body shops.
